Acronym: '''[[PANSA]]'''.

=Origins=

In the year 2000 a massive crisis faced theatre in South Africa - among other things, the [[State Theatre]] Pretoria was mothballed with more than 450 jobs lost, the [[Market Theatre]] retrenched half of its staff, the [[Windybrow Theatre]] was about to shut down, [[PACOFS]] was facing closure after fraudulent investments of public funds, the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra was liquidated and numerous [[NGO]]s were facing funding crise. It was in this time that a national movement began, seeking to mobilise and aid theatre workers. The key player in this movement was [[Mike van Graan]], who thus became instrumental in launching the [[Performing Arts Network of South Africa]] ([[PANSA]]), a national lobby to promote and defend the interests of the performing arts industry and of workers within the industry, in 2001. As the first General Secretary of PANSA, Van Graan was responsible for the initial fundraising, organizational structure and growth of the organization,
