This performance of Iziko production has
now been postponed to January 2014.
“Due to the many memorial services for Tata
Madiba taking place around the country we see the need to postpone our event to
join the ceremony that will take place in Mabhida. We Salute you, Father of the
Nation and world peacemaker. We spread your teaching. RIP” says director of Iziko,
Vusi Makhanya.
IZIKO
Dance Production is a diverse and inspiring two-hour production showcasing
about 100 KwaMashu School of Dance Theatre Outreach projects from talented
community.
The show
represents the Kwa Mashu School of Dance Theatre’s end of year performance and will
be performed by students ranging from juniors to young adults and includes
Gumboot Dance, African Contemporary and variety of traditional dance styles.
Most of
the pieces have been choreographed by KwaMashu School of Dance Theatre (KMSDT) trainees
Xoliswa Makanya and Nolwazi Majola. However, guest teachers and choreographers,
Mlekeleli Khuzwayo (Resident Choreographer), Jabu Siphika (Production Manager)
and Thandanani Qwabe(as Narrator) have added Framework conversation on Climate Change using IZIKO Dance and
Storytelling, which has affected so many lives in the world.
KMSDT
has opened this platform to other art organisations who are interested in
working together with its director, Vusi Makanya. The special guest group is
FFDC Dudlu Ntombi, Amazebra and Blue fire production.
Following
the great success of Dusi Dance Company’s performance in the artSPACEdurban

development and maturity of the youth who are carrying KMSDT forward into the next
exciting era.
