Dancers to take one step further with their performance
The festive piece intelligently makes use of various dance styles within a Bollywood framework.
RAMPAGE Dance Company is proud to host a new season of The Eastern Evening (TEE) in the Playhouse Drama Theatre on 21 April 2017. The new programme includes exciting dance works performed by six teams representing dance schools from around KZN.
Titled One Step Further, this year’s TEE offers a spectrum of dance styles that promises to be entertaining for the entire family. The Company (RDC) will present a collection of dance work including a colourful display of eastern folk dance reflecting the company’s interest in bridal choreography. The festive piece intelligently makes use of various dance styles within a Bollywood framework.
RDC’s Artistic Director, Iqraam Rahim, said he is most proud of the dance work titled Gaye Ja, which means ‘keep singing’, which is a tribute to the legacy of freedom fighter Ahmed Kathrada and inspired by his quote: “Not being able to see or interact with children for 20 years was possibly the most difficult thing to endure during my time on Robben Island.”
Priyal Bhagwandas, a student at Crawford College la Lucia, who was introduced to the TEE programme in 2015, will exhibit her art work on the evening with a small collection she believes was inspired by the nuances of dance.
