Description
The Centre for Theatre, Dance and Performance Studies (CTDPS) is delighted to bring you Meeting Point: “sinuous kinetic conversations among bodies and communities in motion with time, space and rhythmic energies” (Lisa Wilson, Artistic Director) in two Acts. DANCE in the Centre focuses on contemporary dance performance through multiple artistic lens and continues to be a meeting point of past, present and future dance currents.
Act I features our students performing newly created dance works and repertory learnt in their African, contemporary, and classical technique courses with CTDPS dance faculty: Maxwell Xolani Rani; Byron Klassen; Janine Booysens; Nicolette Loxton and Lindy Raizenberg. Some of the new works such as ‘Contact’ premiered at the 2018 Baxter Dance Festival in Cape Town.
Act II features the commissioned work 'Point of Connection' by acclaimed
choreographer and Artistic Director Sifiso Kweyama of Jazzart Dance Theatre, with assistance from the Jazzart dancers. 'Point of Connection' interrogates the influence and dynamics of an individual’s internal connection to others, the ebb and flow of human connection. CTDPS is delighted to have partnered with Jazzart in generating this beautiful and challenging work for our dance students. The work premiers here at the Little Theatre and will later be presented at Artscape for the 2018 Jazzart Dance season.
This season's performance forms part of our students’ course examinations. Thank you for your support over the years in the development of our dancers as performers, teachers, choreographers and researchers. Meeting point showcases our students moving fluidly in and through these embodied identities and across multiple physical languages.
