We are planning a day
which will include performance and workshops by the award-winning Tribhangi Dance Company from South Africa (who combine the strong physicality of African dance with the grace of classical Indian dance while also incorporating colourful Afro-fusion and contemporary styles) – often described as “not quite African, not quite Indian, but intriguingly bi-cultural”, along with a selection of craft based activities.
Prepare to be dazzled as the award-winning Tribhangi Dance Theatre present UBUNTU (Humanity Towards Others), a high energy production that celebrates celebrates connection and global cultural exchange.
Hailing from Johannesburg, South Africa, Tribhangi Dance Theatre masterfully blend the strength and energy of African dance with the grace and precision of classical Indian Bharatanatyam, interweaving colourful Afro-fusion and contemporary styles.
