GEORGE NEWS - A special dance production by a local group, the Kubu Collective, will be staged at the Market Community Theatre tomorrow night, Saturday 1 June.
The production, Bond-Edge, was created by local dancers Lynette du Plessis, Shaun Oelf, William Payler, and Amy-Kay Klassen (the Kubu Collective).
It was created in collaboration with local creative producer Heloïne Armstrong, Ugandan choreographer Lilian Maximillian Nabaggala, and Tanzanian multidisciplinary scenographer and digital artist Arafa C Hamadi.
The show in George is not open to the public, but those who wish to see it, can go and see it at the National Arts Festival in Makhanda (Grahamstown) on 29 and 30 June. Bookings can be made at https://nationalartsfestival.co.za/
Bond-Edge is part of a collaborative dance artwork series called Third Space, initiated by the National Arts Festival together with the French Institute of South Africa with the Embassy of France. Under this programme, local dance collaboratives from different towns work together with ensembles of performance and visual artists, writers, theatre-makers, technicians, and arts administrators to create new productions intended to be showcased at the National Arts Festival in Makhanda (Grahamstown).
Three productions have been created for this year's Arts Festival. Apart from Bond-Edge in George, there are also Golden City by the Gompo Community Arts Centre in Duncan Village in Eastern Cape and In(Visible) by Forgotten Angle Theatre Collaborative in Emakhazeni, Mpumalanga.
