02.01.2022 GOLD 10 year anniversary A Decade of Disgraceful Dance 2021 marks the tenth anniversary of the establishment of GOLD, the company of over 55 years CDT dancers. There are plans afoot to celebrate with a year-long program of activities, including performances of favourites from our repertoire, newly commissioned works, and a retrospective exhibition of photos and videos.... Of course this all takes money. We are contemplating trying to raise some funds for these GOLD anniversary projects through selling specially labelled wine. To help us gauge interest in this possible fundraiser, we would love it if you could answer a few simple questions on our survey monkey https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/3FMT5J3 . Please respond by 24 July. Look out for coming information about the fabulous choreographers with whom we hope to work, glimpses of our past performances and reminiscences from our GOLD dancers. We want to remind the Canberra community that dance is not just for youngsters!

01.01.2022 South Africa Beauty Wonderful video performed by Kitty Phetla from the Joburg Ballet Check their great youtube page... https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCI2gBPMUkIUH9P9-v8w-YEA More about award-winning ballerina, choreographer and model Kitty Phetla https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njfmTKSw7_s More about the Joburg Ballet Established in July 2012 Joburg Ballet (JB) is the country's largest and most prestigious professional ballet company. JB is a non-profit, Section 21 Company, proudly resident at the Joburg Theatre. The company consists of permanent and ad-hoc dancers skilled in both classical ballet and contemporary dance This is the context for the video With #CapeTown reservoir levels plummeting to record lows, the #CapeWaterCrisis has become a major concern for the entire country. We’re proud to present our latest #BreakingBallet, a rain dance for the drought-stricken province. Inspired by Queen Modjadji of the Balobedu people, and shot on location at the near-empty Theewaterskloof Dam, the dance was choreographed and performed by senior soloist @Kitty Phetla. While we hope it will bring rain, this dance is also an important reminder of the value of water to life on earth, and the necessity to conserve it at all costs. If you’re travelling to the Western Cape this festive season, please make water conservation an absolute priority. Original Link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqiQ5csBtFg
