The performance is expressed through dance rituals and built on the principles of self-care, truth-telling, inclusion, vulnerability, sustainability, and love — all of which we have experienced in the last 30 years in South Africa.

The production fosters a realistic appreciation of the professional collaboration and working environment. Each performance allows the bodies, hearts and souls to guide us to a place where we see patterns in our collective stories, culminating in co-creation and holding rehearsal processes. The production features seven top Durban choreographers working in collaboration with five female solo dancers. 

TimesLIVE photojournalist was there to capture the performance.
