Vuyani Week 2019

Vuyani Dance Theatre returns to Johannesburg for the annual Vuyani Week season to close of their twentieth anniversary celebrations. Newtown based African Contemporary Dance Company, VDT, has produced a number of pieces over the past twenty years that have kept South African and international audiences captivated and excited about the company. These pieces will resurface during the annual Vuyani Week, taking place at the Dance Factory from 8 – 10 November 2019, in the form of a collage the looks at how far the company has come to date.

The 2019 class of dancers will extract excerpts from some of the iconic Vuyani productions as part of the main program from Friday 8 to Sunday 10 September 2019. The work will include Trilogies and some of the award winning productions including the world acclaimed Cion: Requeim of Ravel’s Bolero. 

Vuyani is committed to promoting self-expression, empowerment and leadership skills to young dancers as they find their own artistic voices as dancers and choreographers respectively and it is with this commitment in mind that we continue to emphasise the importance of a platform such as Vuyani Week for both the company dancers as well as the learners we work with on a weekly basis from our outreach program throughout the year. Vuyani Week is a family orientated season that connects the company’s professional dancers and trainees with the Outreach protégés on a shared stage.
