I just wanted to say (on behalf of animationSA ), thanks so much for enabling animationSA to have a presence at the design indaba, it was a very successful few days in terms of a PR exercise and as a drive to encourage people to interact with us and join our network - we have seven pages of names(!!) and spoke to a number of people who might be able to assist us in future.

As a concept, I think the stand worked very well and it was fun for us to be in amongst all the other artists. We also benefited from the crowds that gathered to see the performers.

Lastly, I'd like to say CONGRATULATIONS to the team for winning the most creative stand award. What a lovely way to cap a great experience (despite the shaky beginnings) : ) .

Best wishes
Canda

To all those who participated in our booth: well done. Thanks for buying into the
concept and engaging in it with such enthusiasm. Your sharing of your time and
energy is a testament to the joy of creative collaboration, and this was
obviously recognised by the visitors and adjudicators at the indaba: we made
something dynamic, unique and UNOWNED BY ANY INDIVIDUAL.
I wish you all open doors, and look forward to getting the opportunity to work
and play with you again. Special thanks to Tashinga, Bianca and Leigh for dedicating so much time and effort to making a success of it.
Best
Brett Bailey
