SeparateDevelopment, a play about South Africa which runs September 9 - September 26 at the Great Canadian Theatre Company, is designed to raise political rather than artistic questions.
SeparateDevelopment was not originally intended as a serious play, or even a play about apartheid.
In SeparateDevelopment, the three non-white characters—two fls and one coloured—have varying degrees of power, but are ultimately subservient to the white boss, an immigrant from England.
Development is too complex to ignore the skill of those who have repeatedly dealt with similar problems and have a base of experience and knowledge to call on.
Where development is incorporated as part of a single organization, it is always helpful for the boards of directors to delineate clearly, in advance, the roles and jurisdictions of the two staffs.
Self-help development programs deliver concrete benefits, produce results much more consistent with residents' interests than other approaches to development and provide a means for important community organizations to survive during a time when it is particularly hard to find support for pure organizing and advocacy activities.
