1 becomes 2 becomes 3 … is a mesmerising visual feast of African contemporary dance in the park promised by Flatfoot Dance Company.
“This 40-minute dance theatre work offers a beautiful and gentle introduction into the art of choreography that takes you on a journey of how a solo becomes a duet, become a trio, become a quartet … watch the skill of the dancers as they unravel a basic contemporary dance phrase and turn it into the magic of a full length choreographic work. What happens when lifts are added, when hip-hop forces its way on stage and is chased off by ballet … and did someone mention Bollywood?” says Flatfoot’s artistic director Lliane Loots who has choreographed the work with the dancers.
“Witty, beautiful and a chance for the audience (young and young at heart!) to participate in the decoding of contemporary choreography in the process of making and watching. Huge fun for the whole family!” she continues.
Flatfoot Dance Company is KZN’s premier African contemporary dance company and with numerous awards for their dance work and recent international tours under their belts, this is dance lovers’ opportunity to come and share their work under the winter sun!
