Alliance Française of Durban together with KwaMashu School
of Dance (KMSDT) present Unite and Dance
for Change which present special performances in remembrance of women and
children who have been victims of violence.
Alliance Française and KMSDT invite you to celebrate the 16
DAYS OF ACTIVISM under the theme Unite and Dance for Change. Body of Knowledge and Ababhemu performances choreographed by
Vusi Makhanya focus on the rights of women and children using dance as means of
communication.
Body of Knowledge
evokes the different experiences of life that the human body goes through. In
this inevitable journey the body learns, but the body suffers ... the most
difficult steps leave the deepest marks and inflict pain to the soul over time.
Freeing oneself becomes a quest, thoughts come one after the other, the body
memorises, the mind guides and the heart chooses.
Ababhemu is a theatrical
experience. Physical movement and dialogue, the DDC dancers use dance as a
means to express themselves and their stories. But this does not mean that the
dancers aren’t also technically impressive.
The performers from the Dusi Dance Company include Senior
Company: Scelo Mthethwa, Sabelo Gumbi, Simphiwe Msomi, Tebogo Mncwabe, Zimbili
Hlongwane and Thandeka Maqebula. Junior Company members are Snenhlanhla
Sihlangu and guest artists Phelo Maphitshi and Wandile Nondliwa
Both performances will be presented at Alliance Française on
December 8 at 18h30 for 19h00.
Tickets R70 on sale at Alliance Française de Durban, 22
Sutton Crescent, Morningside, Durban, or available at the door. For more information,
