It is with deep sadness that the Drama Department says goodbye to one of our own. Yvonne Banning passed away quickly, painlessly and peacefully on Monday 6th July 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. While the loss is huge she leaves a legacy of high academic and artistic standards, keen curiosity, witty engagement and absolute loyalty to realising the vision and following the dream.
She Taught Me a tribute to Yvonne Banning from Nadia Davids.
