Afrika Ablaze Unchained Dance Showcase

Imagine receiving a gift you can never open…

From Tuesday, 26, until Saturday, 30 April, the Baxter Theatre will be hosting Unchained – a dynamic collaboration between Afrika Ablaze Dance Company and up-and-coming talent from the Western Cape. Expect to be blown away by exceptional choreography, matched by beautiful dancing and a uniquely African spin.

Created by acclaimed choreographer and producer Glenda Jones, this spectacular showcase explores the concepts of freedom, expectation and creative autonomy. Often children and young adults are unconsciously dictated to by the expectations of others, and through this, lose some of their childlike joy and artistry. This performance is a recapturing of that spirit – an unchained celebration of imaginative expression.

The first half will star the adorable and exceptionally talented six year-old Someleze Betela as the lead role, while the second half will feature gifted seventeen year-old Annelize Douglas. They’ll be accompanied by emerging young performers, including Chelsea Samuels, Quisha Dawood and Danielle-Marie Jones, and a medley of inspiring female artists. Expect enigmatic energy, innovative dance, strong storylines and evocative movement as the crew of young dance warriors ignite the stage.
