“circle”: This work began as an exploration of traditional values around story-telling and its place in both ancient and contemporary African society. It involved the dancers using this platform to negotiate their own ‘stories’ and so the work has a very private and intimate sensibility. Choreography by Sifiso E. Kweyama.

“BLOODLINES”: An evocative dance theatre work that conjures images around history, remembering travels from rural KwaZulu-Natal, to colonial memories of Boer Wars and the South Durban concentration camps that held Boer women and Children between 1899 and 1902, to modern day acts of xenophobia and the invocation “who started what?”. Choreography by Lliane Loots, with the original spoken word by Iain ewok Robinson. Bloodlines features Pamela Van Deutekom from INTRODANS, the Netherlands.
