David April Launch

He has proved his mettle as an arts and culture performer, leader, mentor, pioneer, dance activist and entrepreneur – and now David Thatanelo April is moving with a purpose! In September 2010, David  re-branded his April Training and Consulting arts consultancy as simply David April, while continuing to deliver the same individualised, hands-on service that clients have come to value.  April wishes to express his deep appreciation and gratitude to The Brand Union, a world-class global brand agency for the corporate identity and design of his company. They have managed to articulate and capture the essence of what David April stands for – Move with purpose! “As an entrepreneur I have learned how to turn risks into opportunities, build a culture of innovation through finding and creating synergies between business and the arts; and how to identify and make connections between dance and other art forms, with an eye on business sustainability,” says April. Since striking out on his own, April has consulted widely with clients in the arts industry, NGOs, government departments and the private sector.

Passionate about arts and culture development, April uses his 17 years of experience, including a decade of senior management experience, to bring a professional approach to any project he tackles – from fundraising, teaching and skills development to planning, marketing and management. In 2003, he was the first recipient of the prestigious Tunkie Memorial Award for Outstanding Dedication and Leadership in Dance. As such, his David April arts consultancy provides interactive, engaging and accessible creative movement solutions using music and dance to stimulate discussion and effect change – particularly in the fields of arts, business and education. He is looking forward to continuing to serve the South African arts and culture sector in his David April arts consultancy – a one-stop shop for project management, entertainment (themed dance performances for special events, seminars, conferences and product launches), fundraising, education and training.
