7/7/2009 RIP, Yvonne
Aw. A seminal force of Cape Town theatre is no longer with us ... this is a shout out to the spirit and soul of Yvonne Banning, who we didn't know as well as we should have, but who made it her business to know us and get involved. From our advisory committee, to every single show we've ever done, to every work-in-progress showing, Yvonne was there - challenging, supporting, and gently but firmly steering us in the intended direction. It was an absolute pleasure and a pride to know such an amazing woman, and so many respects and celebrations are due from everyone. From all of the clowns at FTH:K, beeg love and respect.

10/8/2009 Obituary
UCT lecturer, mentor and former broadcaster Yvonne Banning (65) died on 6 July.
Banning earned her LTCL BA (Hons) and UED at the University of KwaZulu-Natal and her master's at the University of the Witwatersrand before coming to UCT. She joined UCT in July 1992 and was a senior lecturer at UCT's Department of Drama, teaching across a range of theoretical and practical courses, with a focus on contemporary South African work and voice. Her research interests included community theatre-making and women in theatre.
Liz Mills of the UCT Drama Department pays tribute: "It is with deep sadness that I pass on the news that Yvonne passed away quickly, painlessly and peacefully, with her children at her bedside.
"Yvonne, as her students know, was inspiring and deeply nurturing of individual creativity. Some of the finest postgraduate writing produced in this department was crafted under her supervision. She tirelessly supported postgraduate work, and particularly the people in the work, no matter how big or small the project."
