Dance Umbrella 2 at Arts Alive 2012
The Dance Umbrella Festival today features new works from South African and/or African choreographers, international artists and young up-and-coming artists. Dance Umbrella has become the platform for new South African work; it is the main programme which both artists and programmers consider the place to show and see work. Now part of Arts Alive.
Songs of Migration (musical)
Two South African legends bring the Artscape Opera stage alive in a musical tribute to the great songs of migrants across the African continent. Songs of Migration, fresh off the stages of Washington DC, London and Amsterdam. It is a musical adventure of Southern Africa’s cries of joy, love, conflict, resistance, sorrow, exile; oppression; patriotism; victory and freedom. Compiled by internationally acclaimed trumpeter, composer and lyricist Hugh Masekela, and starring alongside him Sibongile Khumalo, they take centre stage as lead storytellers and singers. This touching tribute, written and directed by award-winning director James Ngcobo, has been described as a production that takes one on a journey of every possible emotion.
Out of Africa - The Magic of Kenya (tournee)
Out of Africa - Safari Through Magical Kenya is het vervolg op hitproducties als Sikulu, Stamping en African Mamas en neemt u mee op safari door het magische Kenia. Opzwepende dansen van Masai-krijgers, close harmony songs van de vrouwelijke dansers, een ballet van flamingo's, funky African jazzritmes en vrolijke bengamuziek uit de nachtclubs van Mombassa en Nairobi: het wordt allemaal gebracht met niet aflatende Afrikaanse energie en vitaliteit. Zowel het traditionele als het moderne Kenia krijgt in deze overdonderende show een plek.
