Gregory Maqoma / Vuyani Dance @ YBCA

Gregory Maqoma/Vuyani Dance Theatre, Beautiful Me, Nov 5-7, 2009, YBCA Forum—"I am Gregory Maqoma, an African dancer. I have plenty of exotic stories to sell. Which one would you like to hear tonight?" YBCA presents one of South Africas leading choreographers, Gregory Maqoma in his acclaimed solo performance, Beautiful Me. Paying tribute to three master choreographers who have inspired him—Akram Khans Contemporary Kathak, Faustin Linyekulas visual dance-theater and Vincent Mantsoes Afro-Fusion—Maqoma builds a bridge to a living past by layering these diverse idioms with his own, creating an entirely new and unique dance experience. Performed with live music (violin, cello, sitar and percussion)
