Whistlers of Art

The Whistlers of Art is a performance group

Also referred to as the Whistlers of Art Project or Whistlers of Art Theatre Group

The company

An outflow of the unique whistling form of communication that emerged among the self-defence units of Katlehong, an East Rand township which was overrun by violence in the run-up to the 1994 elections. Former members of the units formed the Whistlers of Art Theatre Group after encountering the therapeutic power of theatre as part of an integration programme in 1995.
