A Contextualized Chronology of South African Theatre, Film, Media and Performance

Compiled by Temple Hauptfleisch


Aims

The aim of this section of ESAT is simply to provide readers with a time-line for the events listed in the various entries, and more particularly to provide some kind of historical contexts for the various events and processes that going to make up the totality of South African theatre and performance history.

In order to do so, key theatre and performance events are listed in conjunction with selected cultural and artistic social, cultural, political, scientific and other events from across the globe. Links are then provided to the appropriate theatre, film, media and performance entries in the main body of the encyclopaedia.

Some other useful timelines and chronology lists
