Bringing Jazzy Masala to Gold Reef City
Jazzy Masala Creative celebrates the power of dance at the Lyric Theatre, this September
JAZZY Masala Creative is bringing a very special production to the Lyric Theatre, at Gold Reef City, this month.
Dance ka Josh is an explosion of dazzling costumes, beautiful music and sensational dance, which will take place on September 17 and 18.
Created by choreographer Versha Magan, with support from Douglas Skete, Dance ka Josh is a vibey, eclectic mix of Indian classical Kathak, Bollywood, Indian Folk, hip-hop, contemporary, jazz and, for the first time this year, ballet, woven with stories and set to a variety of Indian music.
The exhilarating show, that demonstrates true passion and drive for dance, tells stories of love, passion, devotion, miracles and the triumph of faith, as the dancers take the audience on a journey of delight and discovery.
Versha Magan, producer, creative director and choreographer of the Jazzy Masala Academy, said: “Dance ka Josh is an expression of the passion of what my soul feels and tells me about dance.”
With a strong base of classical Kathak, Bollywood, traditional and folk dance, opulent costumes and swathes of colour and sound, Dance ka Josh celebrates the magic of India and promotes cultural diversity in South Africa.
The beautiful costumes are inspired by a rich cultural heritage and made locally. With a history of sold out shows and standing ovations, Jazzy Masala Creative always promises energetic, fun-filled performances that leave their audiences spellbound, wanting more.
Dance ka Josh features over 100 dancers, with both company and academy dancers performing in the various segments.
Jazzy Masala Academy’s ethos of nurturing talent and creating platforms for artists is reflected in the production. Academy dancers are given an opportunity to learn from and be inspired by the company’s 12 professional dancers.
“It is our vision to transcend cross-cultural barriers by teaching various forms of dance to our divergent emerging youth, while, at the same time, embracing all people wanting to explore this form of artistic expression. It is in productions like Dance ka Josh that you can see this vision made real,” said Magan.
