Sibikwa has been flooded with applicants for Breaking New Ground, a Festival celebrating Solo Performances that will be held at Sci-Bono in Newtown from the 18th - 20th November. There are few opportunities for artists to showcase experimental, risk-taking work that broadens the horizons of creative expression. For audiences starved of variety and challenge, this is an event not to be missed.

Up and coming performers such as Roberto Pombo, whose face will be easily recognisable from the KFC adverts, will present work alongside more established artists such as Craig Morris, well-known for his performance in Blood Orange. Members of Moving Into Dance and the Sibikwa Dance Company will also be performing, including Freddy Zwane who will be presenting a solo piece he is currently working on in Copenhagen, where it will premier. Leigh Nudelman, who performed in the international tour of The Elephant, and Kieron Jina, recently returned from a Middle Eastern tour of Dada Masilo’s Carmen will also present work.

The New Education Wing at Sci-Bono has been secured as a fitting venue of open flowing spaces in which performers will create their own performance space, taking the audiences on an interactive, moving journey. Audience members are welcome to bring their own food and drinks to enjoy while watching the performance.
