Description 1 online resource (27 min.)
Summary "The video begins at about 21 seconds, with voice and dancing people. The narrators talk about "South African dance" and how movement is dance. Mzokuthla Gasa talks about his experience growing up during Apartheid, and Gregory Maqoma "can still smell the tear gas" of that period in South Africa. News clips show demonstrations and burning houses. A small part of "Ketima," a dance by Maqoma, is shown with its music, and Maqoma talks about his ancestor Chief Maqoma and the related piece "Exit/Exist" (excerpt shown). Gasa speaks about his dance company and his piece "Abangabonwa," and part of this performance is also shown. Oscar Buthelezi talks about his dance "Road," and dancers perform part of it. Lliane Loots avers that all art is political and speaks about connection with place and memory. Sifiso Khumalo is shown dancing in a street, wearing street clothes, and then there is an excerpt from Loots' dance "Days Like These." Nomcebisi Moyikwa speaks about how she wants her dance to be understood "in the greater context of the world," with her "Inqindi" for illustration. Lorin Sookool speaks about collaboration with Julia Wilson, and there is a bit of the dance "Her_Ass_Meant." Maqoma talks about identify, family, and empathy, and after another interlude of dance, choreographer Jay Pather talks about his family, who opposed his becoming a dancer. Athena Mazarakis talks about her piece, "Standing By," with an excerpt. Kamogelo Molobye grew up in a "Township environment," and he speaks about his site-specific work, for example, "Lipstick," with Jeannette Ginslov. Several of the choreographers speak about Africa as inspiration for them and their work, and the dance "Ubunye" by Gasa is an example. The video ends with samples of several different dances ..."--Resource description page (viewed January 25, 2019)
