SUMMARY:And Then…
DESCRIPTION:  \nAnd Then…\, the latest iteration in an award-winning dance series\, opens at the Artscape Arena Theatre on 29 November 2023. \njackï job is an accomplished artist known for constantly raising the bar of contemporary dance performance. Her dance series And Then… began in 2018. It has taken on many forms – each one planting the seed for the next – including a film that aired during lockdown in 2020. And Then… was nominated for a Naledi Theatre Award and won the UCT Meritorious Award for Creative Works in 2022. \njackï job approaches her creations with a sense of magic\, constantly seeking to conjure new textures and vibrations on stage. A contemporary dancer\, first-generation Butoh performer and pioneer of Butoh on the African continent\, she has created a polished\, unique dance style that ignites the imagination. Using shaking\, unpredictable\, rhythmic movements\, her body extends and contracts in ways that reach into the heart. She creates true musical phrases in movement\, animated with the ebb and flow of tension and relaxation. Her dance is grounded on the human breath. \nIn concert with her longstanding collaborator José Dias\, she creates innovative\, organic performances that have riveted and moved people all over the world. The duo intricately weaves set movement and structured improvisation techniques\, creating unusual synergy and connection\, carrying all those who witness to a place of deep soul-listening. Dias brings the piano to life\, and it becomes the third performer. He manipulates the chords and strings\, acknowledging the piano’s ancestry as wood and tree\, as metal and rock\, as ivory and animal. \nAnd Then… is about the way we love and vibrate with sentient worlds. It reaches for the most basic and universal of human instincts. It is an organic journey of desire\, compassion\, acceptance and love. Deeply personal\, for both the audience and the performers\, it allows each individual to develop their own very intimate interpretation of their work. Always\, audiences are awestruck and carried to a place of connection. \nAnd Then… who knows what might happen … \n  \nListen to how a former Fleur du Cap Award judge\, Niel Roux\, describes the work \n

SUMMARY:REQUIEM: Journeys of the soul
DESCRIPTION:Jazzart Dance Theatre in collaboration with Cape Town Opera\, the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra and Phoenix Dance Theatre presents the new\, critically acclaimed 5-star production of ‘Requiem: Journeys of the Soul’ choreographed and directed by Dane Hurst with music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Neo Muyanga.  \n  \nThe brand-new production premiered in the UK in collaboration with Opera North and Phoenix Dance Theatre and Cape Town Opera was hailed as a 5-star “knock-out double bill” and promises to be a thought-provoking and poignant expression of remembrance and rebirth in a post-pandemic society. Neo Muyanga’s new work entitled ‘After Tears’ was described as an “invocation of South African rituals of mourning and remembrance – ultimately celebrating the beauty of life – colourful\, joyous\, uplifting: food for the soul.” This new work was specially commissioned by Opera North to be performed along and as a companion piece to Mozart’s iconic masterpiece entitled\, ‘Requiem’. Muyanga writes – “My new work After Tears laments the palpable sense of loss after the dream of a utopia has been deferred. The piece is a rallying call for individual citizens to work collectively\, with empathy\, to rebuild after a period of distress and loss. It envisages this collective work as a vibrant ‘After Tears party’ where the blues of mourning are submerged and constrained by the reverie of a cleansing ceremony.”  \n  \nWith lighting design by Faheem Bardien\, the music to this production will be brought to life by the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra\, Schola Cantorum -The Stellenbosch University Chamber Choir\, Cape Town Opera’s soloists and award-winning chorus under the musical direction of Adam Szmidt.  \n  \n \n  \n
