DANCE SPECTRUM - BRIDGES & ARCHES

The evocatively titled Bridges & Arches is the 2019 edition of the NSA popular Dance Spectrum and features the work of four leading female choreographers: Kitty Phetla (the recipient of the 2019 Standard Bank Young Artist Award for Dance), Shanell Winlock -Pailman, Nadine Buys and Rosana Maya.

Anatomically the foot has both a bridge and an arch. But beyond the all-important anatomy of the foot lies the symbolism of the bridge and the arch. Spanning genres and styles, Bridges & Arches sees the dancers seamlessly adapting to the stylistic demands of four different choreographers journeying from contemporary to neo-classical, from ballet to flamenco and Tswana and Khoisan.
