The Platform was established in 2017 by Kirsten Adams, a student at the Stellenbosch Konservatorium. Their vision is to foster a hub of collaborative arts within Stellenbosch as a means of giving back to society. The Platform does this with contemporary new music and contemporary dance, and raises their proceeds to contribute to a different non-profit organisation each year, and ultimately to benefit all spheres of need in our society. For more information, like their page on Facebook & Instagram or email Kirsten Adams at theplatformstb@gmail.com .
