Gregory Vuyani Maqoma, one of South Africa's leading choreographers is presenting his ‘revamped’ 2010 work, Four Seasons, at the Dance Factory, Newtown Johannesburg from 5 to 8 May, 2011.
This return season of Four Seasons is in celebration of VDT’s many years of proud sustainability and has been made possible by funding from The National Lottery Distribution Trust Fund (NLDTF). This funding has been allocated for a three year period and has enabled VDT to grow its management team. The team, together with a new Board and patrons, Judge Edwin Cameron, Advocate Pinky Mokgatla and Consular Paul Mees, is a blend that bodes well for the company in the years ahead.
The limited season opens with a red-carpet, Black-Tie/Green-Tie event celebrating VDT’s more than a decade of sustainability in regards to good governance, on Thursday 5 May 2011. It will be hosted by VDT’s patron Judge Edwin Cameron and invited guests will comprise media, Citigreen companies, corporate companies, and government organisations.
Four Seasons, fresh from a successful run at KKNK, features the full company of eight dancers: Thabo Kobeli, Teresia Mojela and Shawn Mothupi (from the original cast), Sibusiso Ngcobo, Thulani Chauke, Phumlani Nyanga, Nosiphiwo Samente and Charlston van Rooyen.
Four Seasons is at the Dance Factory, Newtown Johannesburg for a very limited season: four performances only, Thursday 5 May – Gala evening (by invitation only), Friday 6 and Saturday 7 May at 8pm and Sunday 8 May at 2.30pm. Booking is at Computicket. Tickets are R90. Students / Pensioners / block bookings (10+) - R40.
Four Seasons is funded by the National Lottery Distribution Trust Fund and is further supported by Business & Arts South Africa (BASA) and Breinstorm Brand Architects; also Nedbank Arts Affinity and The Arts & Culture Trust (ACT).
