Spring-loaded;a contemporary dance fest

This inspired collaborative season will bring together Moving into Dance Mophatong (MIDM), Sibikwa Arts Dance Company, The Forgotten Angle Theatre Collaborative (FATC), and Vuyani Dance Theatre (VDT).

Supported in part by Rand Merchant Bank (RMB) and Business Arts South Africa (BASA), the dance companies have decided to pool their collective resources choreographically, creatively and logistically, to present a season of work.

All dance enthusiasts are invited to join in the celebrations and exciting opportunity to build new and sustainable markets.

During the course of the week, the companies will create a collaborative new work to be presented at the end of the week, on August 15 and 16.

The work being created will be directed by PJ Sabbagha and led by choreographers from each company, including Fana Tshabalala, Sunnyboy Mandla Motau, Shawn Mothupi and Yuhl Headman.

Entitled Spring-loaded, this exciting new creation will reflect on, and speak to, the key issues that underpin the notion of collaboration.

In a wild and exuberant burst of creativity, Spring-loaded will examine the dialogue, trust, honesty and openness needed in order to collaborate successfully in this space.
