Скачать или смотреть Dancing in the streets of South Africa (Pantsula Dance)

Tumelo Michael Moloi teaches us about Pantsula Dance and its origins in protesting apartheid South Africa. Help from University of Oregon dance students and teachers.

Sanibonani which just simply means “Hello how are you?” in Zulu is dance-centered afro-theater developed by lead artists Tumelo Michael Moloi and Joshua Caraco. Loosely structured around Moloi’s upbringing in South Africa during the latter years of Apartheid and his journey through other parts of Africa and the US, the real story is not his personal one but the origins of dance and music. Experience the goldmine origins of Gumboot Dance, animals and hunters of rural village life, and urban Pantsula Dance protesting Apartheid. The melding of instruments such as Kora and dances from West Africa with the dances and instruments like Mbira from southern Africa reminds us of the community Africans of the diaspora make in the US. Images and dances remind us of the US Civil Rights Movement and contemporary Black Lives Matter Movement. A diverse and collaborative group of artists bring you a show full of song, dance, poetry, chances for learning, and humor even in the wake of dark topics.
