Dreaming Dance in District Six: The Johaar Mosaval Story, is a celebratory dance production co-directed by Basil Appollis and choreographer Grant van Ster. Among the guest artists performing tributes will be Joburg Ballet, Jazzart, Figure of 8 Dance Collective and a cast of talented young dancers from Cape Town. Audiences will also be treated to a multimedia experience that will share key moments from Dr. Mosaval’s dance and life journey.
Dr. Mosaval, who recently turned 95, grew up in District Six as the eldest of ten children. During the apartheid era he left South Africa to pursue his dance dream and went on to carve out an illustrious career as a Senior Principal dancer with London’s Royal Ballet between the 1950s and 1970s. Johaar, a living legend, was also the first person of colour to dance at the Nico Malan Theatre (now Artscape).
