Charter of Rights for South African Artists
This campaign is to popularize a Charter that spells out the rights of artists, and to advocate for relevant decision-makers to recognize and affirm these rights in practice. The campaign will be conducted with Im4theArts initially and will broaden to include other formations.
Charter of Rights for South African Artists
TADA contributed to the drafting of The Breathing New Vision Into Theatre and Dance in South Africa policy document and endorses it as an important step towards realising a more just and equitable sector.

Sectoral Determination
The Department of Employment and Labour is considering proposals from the arts sector about the definition of artists in the dance and theatre sector as workers as historically, we were considered as independent contractors, and therefore excluded from the benefits and protections afforded to other workers by legislation. TADA, together with the South African Guild of Actors among others, is working to make representations of behalf of the sector in this regard.
PESP Funding Debacle
TADA has established a team to investigate the PESP funding debacle and to prepare a report from the perspective of civil society. We are hoping to have a draft report that will help to put facts into the public domain and hold accountable those responsible for the mess, in the coming week.

Save Our Sector: Open Theatres Safely and Sustainably
TADA has initiated a campaign to convince the National Command Council to grant provincial governments the right to determine the capacity of theatres, rather than have a blanket limit – such as the current Lockdown Level 3 limit of 50 – imposed on all theatres, despite some having much greater capacity. Sixteen theatres and festivals attended TADA’s first meeting – a unique achievement in itself – and all expressed support for this campaign.
