Music events take up the lion's share of events this month, with forthcoming attractions sure to be The Student Prince and the 1998 Citadel Steel Drum Festival as well as Music of the Night and An Evening with Lloyd Webber, featuring Julian Lloyd Webber. There's also the launch of the new Baroque 2 000 programmes

Dancing Across the Floor proves that you don't have to be able-bodied to enjoy dancing; the Durban Lifesavers Club generously offers their premises and a new coffee lounge opens. The cream of new Southern African film-makers can be seen in M-Net's New Directions; there are workshops for arts administrators, and well-known actors launch a programme to make six performers self-sufficient both artistically and economically. Well-known potter Ian Glenny gives us a glimpse of his exhibition and there's a poetry circle at the BAT Centre.

The new Durban Arts membership fees have been set. We truly have tried to avoid it for as long as possible but increased costs, particularly of postage, have forced the hike.
