<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Die 25ste <a href="https://woordfees.co.za/">Toyota Stellenbosch Woordfees</a> is een van die bestes nog – en daar&#8217;s nog baie om na te kyk, te luister en te vier. Ons deel ’n lys trefferproduksies wat jy nog by die fees kan sien – gryp jou kaartjies terwyl jy nog kan. Onthou ook dat parkeerplek skaars en verkeer uitdagend is in Stellenbosch. Maak gerus gebruik van die fees se getroue Toyota Pendeldiens om sonder dié kopseer betyds by vertonings aan te kom – om versteurings tydens vertonings te verhoed, word laatkommery as reël nie toegelaat nie. Parkeer gratis by die Kochstraat Parkeer &amp; Pendel regoor Rhenish Girls’ High en klim in ’n pendelbussie – <a href="https://track-nk866q0sc861a.inferno5.mailblaze.net/click/rv071rvkvj79c/667d5986a23c606e563f0392/5b5046fb934fbe5c3e9eca9fe1bf6d6c9a313687" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">kaartjies is by Quicket</a> te koop en die pendeldiens kan by die nommer 072 752 3194 bereik word.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Vir dié wat hou van grense verskuif bring Karen Zoid se&nbsp;<strong><em>Zoid</em></strong><em> <strong>Psalms</strong></em> rockkitare en kerkorrel in gesprek met mekaar binne die Kruiskerk, en die eindproduk –&nbsp; ’n rock ‘n roll-show “met ’n sagte hart”. Bertus Basson se <strong><em>Speelkamersessies</em></strong> verskaf ’n meesterlike vertoning waar smaak en stories in die <strong>Eike-restaurant</strong> ontmoet. Die <strong>EasyEquities Skrywersfees</strong> sluit aan by die aanvanklike Woordfees se <em>Nag van passie</em> in 2000 en sluit hoogtepunte in soos die bespreking van Antjie Krog se nuwe roman&nbsp;<strong><em>Binnerym van bloed</em></strong>&nbsp;en ’n skrywerspartytjie <strong><em>’n Aand van passie </em></strong>waar ons terugkyk oor 25 jaar en die glas lig op die skrywers en hul woorde.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Die Veldhospitaal</em>&nbsp;is ’n opwindende hoogtepunt vir visuele-kuns-entoesiaste. Hierdie produksie speel af by die Libertas-plaas en is ’n smeltkroes van kunstenaars wat met kuns, musiek, vertonings en uitvoerings die kyker gaan bekoor en begogel in ’n nuwe baanbrekerfeeskonsep. Visuele kuns was nog altyd een van die Toyota Stellenbosch Woordfees se swaartepunte en vanjaar kan jy verwag om deur &nbsp;byna 90 kunstenaars en ’n Strauss &amp; Co-veiling nie net kuns te besigtig nie, maar ook te beleef.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">By die <em>Sit dit aan!-</em>produksie het vanjaar se finaliste hulle musikale ontwikkeling oor die afgelope ses maande ten toon gestel. Die vertoning se naam, <em>Sit dit aan!</em>, is heel gepas, siende dat dit die eerste keer is dat 2024 se deelnemers na ’n jaar se mentorskap en ontwikkeling aan die publiek bekend gestel word.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As deel van ATKV-Crescendo se vyftigste bestaansjaar het die talentvolle musikante die verhoog gedeel met legendes Simon Witbooi (aka HemelBesem), Gracia Nicholls en Whaden Johannes.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Hierdie reise was nie net altyd mooi en suksesvol nie; daar was onstuimige, ongemaklike tye ook. Elke finalis verdien om te sien watter hoogtes hy of sy reeds bereik het met die wete dat hierdie avontuur nog ver van klaar is,” het Kreatiewe direkteur, Robin Fourie, gesê.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Deur die loop van die jaar het deelnemers geleentheid gekry om deur verskillende mentors in die musiekindustrie touwys gemaak te word. Vanjaar het onder andere Lize Beekman, Bok van Blerk en Jak de Priester ’n draai by die ontluikende musikante gemaak. Daar is egter ook opleiding oor finansies, bemarking ens. om te verseker dat die finaliste uiteindelik ’n volhoubare loopbaan in die kunste kan volg. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Robin Fourie (aka Die Hooflig) verduidelik dat daar gefokus word om nuwe stemme, liedjies en video’s tot die Afrikaanse musiekindustrie te voeg. “Ons konsentreer egter eers op die menswees van elke deelnemer. Die enigste manier waarop ’n kunstenaar kreatief en nuut kan skep, is eers deur hom- of haarself te vind. Talent is volgens ons nie aan mense gegee om te kompeteer nie, maar om eerder mekaar te versterk en te komplementeer,” sê hy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Gerrie Lemmer, ATKV-uitvoerende hoof: kultuur, verduidelik dat hierdie bekendstellingskonsert aan die einde van elke jaar ’n hoogtepunt op die ATKV se kalender is. “Dit is net ongelooflik om te sien hoe finaliste vanaf die eerste slypskool in April vanjaar gegroei het tot die kunstenaars wat die gehoor met <em>Sit dit aan!</em> [gesien het],&#8221; sê hy.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Die Totota Stellenbosch Woordfees hou weer heerlike lente met meer as <a href="https://woordfees.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Feesgids-AFR-22-JUL-.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">400 ongeëwenaarde aanbiedings</a> in nagenoeg 60 venues in en om die Eikestad: van die danser Gregory Maqoma se vaarweloptrede en ’n regte-egte Picasso in die vertoonkas, tot verkwikkende staptoere rondom die Bos – van die hart van die fees in Ryneveldstraat af tot in die Middedorp, óm die Braak en deur Idasvallei.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Daar is 12 afdelings op die program: die <a href="https://woordfees.co.za/feeskategoriee/easyequities-skrywersfees/">EasyEquities Skrywersfees</a>, <a href="https://woordfees.co.za/feeskategoriee/visuele-kuns/">Visuele kuns</a>, <a href="https://woordfees.co.za/feeskategoriee/klassieke-musiek/">Klassieke musiek</a>, <a href="https://woordfees.co.za/feeskategoriee/diskoers/">Diskoers</a>, <a href="https://woordfees.co.za/feeskategoriee/toyota-musiekfees/">Toyota Musiekfees</a>, <a href="https://woordfees.co.za/feeskategoriee/komedie/">Komedie</a>, <a href="https://woordfees.co.za/feeskategoriee/leefstyl/">Leefstyl</a>, <a href="https://woordfees.co.za/feeskategoriee/filmfees/">Filmfees</a>, <a href="https://woordfees.co.za/feeskategoriee/dans/">Dans</a>, <a href="https://woordfees.co.za/feeskategoriee/toneel/">Toneel</a>, <a href="https://woordfees.co.za/feeskategoriee/kinderfees/">Kinderfees</a> en die <a href="https://woordfees.co.za/feeskategoriee/wow/">WOW-fees</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Vanjaar se feestema is Speel, “wat nuwe moontlikhede ontsluit, wêrelde ontdek, en jou op onontginde plekke plaas waar jy net spontaan in die oomblik kan wees,” sê Saartjie Botha, direkteur van die Toyota Stellenbosch Woordfees.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Om te kan speel, moet jy die pause-knoppie druk – halfgebak speel, is kroek. Speel vra totale oorgawe, verbeelding, en gewoonlik maats. Speel is ’n dans met die werklikheid, van ’n wêreld wat is, maar ook ’n wêreld wat word. Waar ander reëls geld, waar die onmoontlike haalbaar en selfs moeiteloos word.”</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">SPEELSHEID EN SPONTANEÏTEIT IN KUNSKYK</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Die feeskunstenaar vir 2024 is die skilder en kleibeeldhouer <a href="https://woordfees.co.za/program/feeskunstnaar-marlene-steyn/">Marlene Steyn</a>. Haar benadering en kuns laat weergalm die feestema in die helder kleure, fantasie en vindingryke vorms waarmee sy droomagtige landskappe optower. Haar werk moedig ook waarnemers aan om hulle te verlustig in ’n eie speelsheid waarvan hulle dikwels nie eens bewus was nie. Sy bied vir die duur van die fees ’n uitstalling aan van haar werke wat al by verskeie versamelings en onlangse uitstallings ingesluit is, soos Home Bodies by die SMAC-galery op Stellenbosch en NON‑PLACES in die Powerlong-kunssentrum in Shanghai, China. Die uitstalling vind in die US Museum plaas en Marlene neem op 2 Oktober ook aan ’n gesprek oor haar werk deel in die US Museum-anneks.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Later is sy weer in aksie in Breath Of Gaia: Exhibition And Fashion Show, waarin sy en die ontwerper Lezanne Viviers mode deur die lens van uitvoerkuns verken.<br>In Picasso, Pinotage And Piano: A Sunset Celebration of Art, Music and Wine vang die sangeres Karen Petersen in ’n toonsetting die tentoonstelling van ’n outentieke Picasso in die Oude Leeskamer vas.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">SPEELKAMERSESSIES MET BERTUS BASSON</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Die stersjef Bertus Basson, bekend om TV-reekse soos In die sop, Ultimate Braaimaster en Kokkedoor, bied weer sy gewilde <a href="https://woordfees.co.za/program/speelkamersessies-met-bertus-basson/">speelkamersessies</a> aan. Kom beleef ’n kookdemonstrasie in sy hoogaangeskrewe Eike-restaurant waar hy spesialiseer in eg Suid-Afrikaanse geregte met ’n kreatiewe kinkel. Gaste sit ná die demonstrasie ook aan by ’n heerlike feestafel. Kaartjies na dié sessies kos R1 300. Vroegtydige besprekings word aangeraai.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Die Idasvalleigemeenskap bied ’n spesiale <a href="https://woordfees.co.za/program/stap-in-idasvallei/">staptoer</a> deur hul historiese, kultuurryke én biodiverse woonbuurt op Stellenbosch aan saam met die Walking by Faith Ladies. Gaste word verwelkom met koffie en tuisgemaakte koesisters of roosterkoek, waarna die toergids deelnemers meer vertel oor dié eiesoortige buurt en natuurgebied. Elkeen kry ’n inheemse boom om te plant in die natuurgebied wat deel vorm van die Idasvallei-gemeenskapsroete, deur die Wêreld Ekonomiese Forum as ’n top-innovasieprogram aangewys.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">BEELDHOU IN DIE BEELDSKOON</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">’n Magiese natuurervaring wag in die Dylan Lewis-beeldetuin, waar 60 werke van dié beeldhouer ten toon gestel word. Hanlé Hill begelei ’n <a href="https://woordfees.co.za/program/dylan-lewis-beeldetuin-begeleide-toer/">tuinwandeling</a> met toegang tot kuns, ateljees en tuine. Let wel, die tuinpaadjies is ongelyk en met los gruis bedek, en dus gevaarlik vir diegene wat moeilik stap. Daar is geen parkeerplek by die tuin nie; gaste vertrek om 09:00 en 14:30 – ’n halfuur voor elke toer – per bussie van die Kochstraat-pendeldienshalte af.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">DIE BESTE PLEK OM DIE BAL AAN ROL TE SIT – AAN DIE LANGTAFEL</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Tussen die pragtige ou geboue van Ryneveldstraat word die <a href="https://woordfees.co.za/program/toyota-stellenbosch-woordfees-langtafel/">Langtafel</a> weer onder die bottende eike gedek – met feestelike kos en gesellige gaste wat glasies klink. Vanjaar verskaf kinkelkok Johnny Hamman die aand se spesiale spyskaart, wat alles oor kole voorberei word. Bespreek vroegtydig jou plek aan dié geliefde tafel.<br>Kaartjies na die Langtafel kos R1 200, met ’n afslagprys van R1 000 as jy voor 1 Augustus jou plek bespreek. Dit sluit ’n driegangete in en gaste word begroet met ’n glas wyn of borrels met die komplimente van Alto-wynlandgoed, Blaauwklippen, Dorp St Wine en Spier van die Stellenbosch-wynroetes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Daar is 30 ander aanbiedings op die Leefstylprogram waarmee jy jou lewenslus kan verfris. Jy kan gaan stap, draf, twee-in-een kry met tuin-en-kuns-kyk, kookdemonstrasies bywoon, argitektuurtoere meemaak en alles proe en geniet wat die Wynlande en die Eikestad se koskultuur bied. Stellenbosch is ’n skatkis vol stories wat dikwels uit die dorp se interessante ou geboue opgediep kan word. Die kultuurhistorikus, Matilda Burden, sal jou met nuwe oë na die hart van die Eikestad laat kyk met staptoere na die dorp se argitektoniese juwele. Twee roetes word op alternatiewe dae aangebied, naamlik ’n verkenning van die middedorp en ’n wandeling om die Braak.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Albei toere vertrek van die Erfurthuis in Ryneveldstraat.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" width="720" height="540" src="https://www.stellenboschvisio.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Slide3-2.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-34374" srcset="https://www.stellenboschvisio.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Slide3-2.jpeg 720w, https://www.stellenboschvisio.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Slide3-2-300x225.jpeg 300w, https://www.stellenboschvisio.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Slide3-2-450x338.jpeg 450w, https://www.stellenboschvisio.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Slide3-2-225x169.jpeg 225w, https://www.stellenboschvisio.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Slide3-2-20x15.jpeg 20w, https://www.stellenboschvisio.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Slide3-2-128x96.jpeg 128w" sizes="(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px" /></figure>



<div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">KLEURGLASVENSTERS</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Die orrelis Zorada Temmingh van die Stellenbosse Moederkerk bied nuwe, verrassende interpretasiemoontlikhede van die <a href="https://woordfees.co.za/program/moederkerk-orrelweek-zorada-temmingh/">simboliek van dié gebou se kleurglasvensters </a>– veel meer as dít wat opgeteken is sedert die installasie van die eerste vensters byna 50 jaar gelede.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Oor son en sterre, duiwe en druiwe, visse en vlamme, windpomp en weerlig, kandelaar en kers – watter verhaal fluister die kleurglasvensters van die Moederkerk? Kuns in openbare ruimtes, kenmerkend van Stellenbosch se ryke kultuuromge- wing, kan ook te voet verken word.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Pule Dhoti en Hanlé Hill bied Kuns op straat aan, waar die besigtiging van wêreldbekende kunstenaars se handewerk nie beperk word tot die binnekant van geboue nie; dit kan deur almal op ons sypaadjies en in ons parke waardeer<br>word – gratis. Op dié begeleide toer sien jy beelde van nader en hoor meer oor<br>die agtergrond van elke werk waarby ’n mens so dikwels net verbystap.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Langs die Eersterivier kan jy ’n gratis sonsondergangstaptoer geniet op die pasgeopende Stellenbosch-kunsmyl, waar kreatiwiteit en natuur dinamies saamvloei. Die kunsmyl se 2024-’25-uitstalling,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Tapyt van tyd, word saamgestel deur Clara Babette. Gevierde kunstenaars<br>se werk besin oor die uitgestrekte geologiese tydperke wat die omliggende landskap gevorm het, sowel as oor die historiese ontwikkeling van Stellenbosch. Die staptoer begin by Eerste Kafee in Suidwalstraat. RSG-omroepers Martelize Brink en Johan Rademan saai Driesestig weer regstreeks uit by Die Khaya-kafee om jou op die hoogte van sake te hou. Hulle gesels met mense wat ’n verskil maak en ’n interessante storie het om te vertel. Kom gesels gratis saam.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">October is springtime in the Boland. After a grey, miserable, wet winter, there is nothing more mood uplifting than spending a day or two in Stellenbosch. The Toyota Stellenbosch Woordfees takes place this year from 28 September to 6 October. Irrespective of whether your Afrikaans is fluent, a little rickety, mostly made up of “Ja-nee” and “lekker” or completely non-existent, you will find a myriad things to do, see and experience at the Woordfees. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Your ticket to <em>Sonic Place 20:24</em> buys you a place at two short concerts of 24 minutes each held at the homes of Stellenbosch residents, a glass of wine and a very short walk between venues.&nbsp; Jazz, classical, free improvisation and acoustic experimentation are all to be found in these six performances and you will have the opportunity to talk to some of the musicians.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The string is the thing. Several presentations on the Woordfees Classical Music programme revere the beauty of string instruments like <em>Strings Attached</em>, <em>Stryk-en klarinet palet</em> (Strings and Clarinet) and <em>The Wits Trio.&nbsp;</em></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="p1">Woordfeesgehore was gaande oor Dean Balie se optrede in die veelbekroonde produksie <em>Die poet, wie’s hy</em>? Die hele land eweneens oor sy spel as Jan-Jan in <em>Nêrens, Noord-Kaap</em>. Maar uit sy gesprek met <strong>Bibi Slippers</strong> is dit duidelik: Dean wéét wie hy is en waar presies hy vandaan kom.</p>
<p><figure id="attachment_28079" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-28079" style="width: 1000px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-28079" src="https://www.stellenboschvisio.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/JAN-JAN-Dean-Balie-Stellenbosch-Visio.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="642" srcset="https://www.stellenboschvisio.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/JAN-JAN-Dean-Balie-Stellenbosch-Visio.jpg 1000w, https://www.stellenboschvisio.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/JAN-JAN-Dean-Balie-Stellenbosch-Visio-300x193.jpg 300w, https://www.stellenboschvisio.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/JAN-JAN-Dean-Balie-Stellenbosch-Visio-768x493.jpg 768w, https://www.stellenboschvisio.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/JAN-JAN-Dean-Balie-Stellenbosch-Visio-150x96.jpg 150w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-28079" class="wp-caption-text">Stories vertel en voor mense optree was nog altyd deel van Dean se lewe. “Waar ek grootgeword het, is nie bioskope of teaters nie, daar is ’n storievertelkultuur. Oral waar jy kom en jy sit, word daar allerhande stories vertel. Dit was vermaak en lewenslesse, saamgevat in een.” Foto&#8217;s verskaf</figcaption></figure></p>
<p class="p1">Dis uit sy grootworddae op sy geboortedorp Steinkopf in Namakwaland dat Dean Balie die waarheid gaan put het vir sy vertolking van Jan-Jan in die trefferreeks <i>Nêrens, Noord-Kaap</i>. Sy liefde vir Namakwaland lê steeds diep. “Namakwaland gee my die ideaal om ons kultuur vir mense te wys. Mense het die idee dat dit net plaas is, maar ons sit met talent: dokters, prokureurs&#8230; Die moment wat ek swak raak, gaan soek ek my krag daar. As ek die stilte verlang, kan ek huis toe gaan, kan ek sit en reflekteer – en dan weet ek, ek is nie so swak soos ek gedink het nie.”</p>
<p class="p3">In die hier en nou, en met sy loopbaan wat behoorlik vlamvat, is Dean se pretensielose profielfoto op WhatsApp een van sy huisbaas en terapeut, die driejarige kat Mishu. “Sy glo ons bly by haar, dis eintlik haar huis,” sê Dean oor die foon toe ek hom uitvra oor die troeteldier (volle name: Mishu Petronella Patoot Flanders Balie). Die 32-jarige Dean en sy vrou, die aktrise Bianca Flanders, is op 20 November 2021 getroud, en het kort tevore hul eerste huis in Woodstock gekoop. En hoewel hulle nie katmense is nie, was Bianca se vrees vir muise en rotte groter as haar renons in katte. “Nou is Mishu die madam van die huis,” sê Dean. “Sy is terapiedier. Sy sit ’n pootjie op jou en absorbeer al die negatiewe energie. Sy het ons kalm gehou in hierdie vreemde tyd. Nou kan ons nie sonder die katjie nie.”</p>
<p><figure id="attachment_28077" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-28077" style="width: 1000px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-28077" src="https://www.stellenboschvisio.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Dean-Balie-Bianca-Flanders-Stellenbosch-Visio.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="667" srcset="https://www.stellenboschvisio.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Dean-Balie-Bianca-Flanders-Stellenbosch-Visio.jpg 1000w, https://www.stellenboschvisio.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Dean-Balie-Bianca-Flanders-Stellenbosch-Visio-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.stellenboschvisio.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Dean-Balie-Bianca-Flanders-Stellenbosch-Visio-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.stellenboschvisio.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Dean-Balie-Bianca-Flanders-Stellenbosch-Visio-144x96.jpg 144w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-28077" class="wp-caption-text">Dean en die aktrise Bianca Flanders is op 20 November 2021 getroud.</figcaption></figure></p>
<p class="p3">Dean se ouers het gewerk sodat hy eendag kan gaan studeer, en hy het by sy ouma, Katrina Phillips (onder die gemeenskap bekend as Ouma Ounooi), gewoon. “My ma en pa was nie afwesige ouers nie. Hulle het net gesê: ‘Ons sal werk, jou ouma sal na jou kyk.’ Ek het in ’n klein sinkhuisie grootgeword, maar ek het so veilig gevoel. Daar was ’n tradisie van jou-kind-is-my-kind. Antie Monica langsaan sou my ’n pak slae gee en dan vir my ouma kom sê sy’t my pak gegee oor ek vye van haar boom af gesteel het, en dan het ek sommer nog ’n pak slae by die huis gekry. Almal het mekaar grootgemaak, en almal was veilig. Daar was rêrige vryheid om kind te wees.” Volgens Dean is sy ouma sy morele kompas, en ook ’n bakker van formaat. “My ouma het ’n buite-oond gehad en het elke dag ses brode gebak. Sy moes so baie bak, want ek het so baie geëet!”</p>
<h2 class="p5">Boklam</h2>
<p class="p2">Dean het as kind ’n hansboklam, Serpie, en ’n groot liefde vir die verhoog gehad. Ouma Ounooi was nie beïndruk toe Dean van sy oupa se plasie af met dié boklam by die huis kom nie. “Weet jy watter groot verantwoordelikheid is ’n bok!? ’n Bok is moeiliker as ’n hond!” maak Dean sy ouma na, wat haar oudste kleinkind uitskel. “Serpie het grootgeword saam met ’n hele paar honde. Hy het gedink hy’s ’n hond. Hy’t saans in die huis ingekom en in my kamer kom wegkruip. Hy’t Fritos geëet, maar niks van NikNaks gehou nie. Die wonderlike ding van Serpie is dat hy my skool toe gevolg het. Soms sou daar ’n afkondiging oor die interkom wees: ‘Kan Dean Balie asseblief na die prinsipaal se kantoor kom. Hier’s ’n bok wat hom wil spreek.’<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Hy was baie parmantig en het net vir my geluister. Serpie het later ’n groot boelie geword, die mafiabaas van die straat, en toe moes ek hom terugvat plaas toe.”</p>
<p><figure id="attachment_28082" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-28082" style="width: 1000px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-28082" src="https://www.stellenboschvisio.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Arendsvlei-Stellenbosch-Visio.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="562" srcset="https://www.stellenboschvisio.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Arendsvlei-Stellenbosch-Visio.jpg 1000w, https://www.stellenboschvisio.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Arendsvlei-Stellenbosch-Visio-300x169.jpg 300w, https://www.stellenboschvisio.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Arendsvlei-Stellenbosch-Visio-768x432.jpg 768w, https://www.stellenboschvisio.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Arendsvlei-Stellenbosch-Visio-171x96.jpg 171w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-28082" class="wp-caption-text">In <em>Arendsvlei</em>, die gewilde telenovelle, het Dean (links) die rol van die aartsmanipuleerder Mario Bruinders vertolk. Saam met hom hier is Bobby Stuurman (Winston “Langes” Jonkers).</figcaption></figure></p>
<p class="p3">Dean sê dat stories vertel en voor mense optree nog altyd deel was van hom. “Waar ek grootgeword het, is nie bioskope of teaters nie, daar is ’n storievertelkultuur. Oral waar jy kom en jy sit, word daar allerhande stories vertel. Dit was vermaak en lewenslesse, saamgevat in een. Ek het nie geweet dis ook <i>performance</i> nie! Ek het aangeneem dis hoe dit is in die wêreld. Ek het as jong seun begin sing en kitaar speel, en op skool ’n dramagroep gestig. Ek was nooit groot genoeg om sportster te wees nie, maar ek het debat gedoen en in die koor gesing. Ek was die verkeerdste persoon om klaskaptein te wees – maar ek het my beskikbaar gestel.” Die biblioteek op Steinkopf was sy tweede huis. “Ek was versot op boeke, en daai tyd al baie verlief op verse. In daai tyd&#8230; ek het nie ’n selfoon gehad nie, ek het nie toegang tot die wêreld gehad nie. Boeke was my manier om te sien hoe groot die wêreld is. Ek het altyd geweet Steinkopf was te klein vir my.”</p>
<p class="p3">Toe hy vir sy ouers sê hy wil drama gaan studeer, het sy pa eers probeer om hom anders te oortuig. “Hy’t my hof toe gevat, hy’t my na die tandarts gevat, hy’t my fisioterapeut toe gevat. Maar die hof was vir my vervelig, en ek wou nie heeldag in kele kyk of boude vryf nie.” Uiteindelik was dit ook sy pa wat met hom Stellenbosch toe gery het vir die oudisie om drama te gaan swot. “Ek was verlief op Stellenbosch. Dié was die eerste keer dat ek alleen kon bly, weg van die huis af. Die wêreld was weer groot. Stellenbosch was daardie vryheid vir my. Ek kon daar die eerste stappe neem na ’n groter verbeelding, ’n groter leerskool. Dit was ook die eerste keer wat ek in ’n teaterstuk was, en ek was onmiddellik versot daarop! Ek onthou my eerste klas. Hulle het vir ons gesê: ‘Ses van julle gaan miskien werk in hierdie industrie’ en ek het gedink: ‘Okay. Wie’s die ander vyf mense?’ Want ek sou my nie laat afsit nie.”</p>
<p class="p3">En hy het nie.</p>

<h2 class="p5">Terug teater toe</h2>
<p class="p2">Dean het as student al sy eerste professionele rol losgeslaan, in die Marlene van Niekerk-toneelstuk <i>Die kortstondige raklewe van Anastasia W.</i> (Marthinus Basson was die regisseur.) Daarna het hy in verskeie David Kramer-produksies opgetree, soos <i>Kat and the Kings </i>(waarvoor hy ’n Fleur du Cap-toekenning gewen het), <i>Blood Brothers</i> (waar hy Bianca ontmoet het) en <i>Orpheus in Africa</i>. Hy werk ook gereeld saam met die regisseur Fred Abrahamse, en Saartjie Botha noem hom as een van ons heel beste akteurs. As ster en medeskepper van <i>Die poet, wie’s hy?</i> (Toyota US Woordfees, 2020, 2021) is hy deur Jo-Ann Floris geloof vir hoe “meesterlik” hy kon sing, dans, preek, bid – en kitaar slaan.</p>
<p class="p3">Dean sien uit daarna om te kan terugkeer teater toe, wanneer die wêreld weer ’n bietjie minder vreemd raak. “Ek hou meer van teater as van film. Daar is geweldige krag daarin om iemand te sien optree – maar daar is selfs groter krag daarin om te sien hoe die gehoor dit waardeer. Suid-Afrika is ryk aan stories, en ek hoop dat daar vir ons platforms sal wees, dat ons sal aanhou skryf, aanhou optree, aanhou wys. Dat ons ’n spieëlbeeld sal wees vir die samelewing, en in diens bly van die samelewing.”</p>
<p class="p3">En wat dink hy sal Ouma Ounooi sê as sy hoor hoe haar oudste kleinkind, wat destyds sommer van die dak af bollemakiesie geslaan het, filosofeer oor die toekoms? “Sy sal sê: ‘Ek is bly hy’s nie meer so wild soos hy was nie, en dat hy tog probeer om die regte ding te doen.’ Sy is baie trots op my prestasies. En bly dat sy by my troue kon wees. En as ek nie reg doen nie, sal sy my neersit en sê: ‘Wat jy nou doen, is verkeerd.’’’ Maar dis nie nodig nie, want dié bokmens se voete trap net reg.</p>
