Jazzart Dance Theatre’s latest full-length contemporary dance work, Waiting for Rain, features the company’s trademark fusion of dance styles that combine athleticism and technical prowess.

Choreographers Mziyanda Mancam, Ina Wichterich-Mogane and Jacqueline Manyaapelo base their work on the idea of rain as a symbol of rebirth.

Members of the company and graduates from the third-year class of the Jazzart young adult training and job creation programme dance to a combination of live and recorded music composed by Thandile Mandela and Mthwakazi and performed under the musical direction of Ntone Edjabe. Mandela, who holds a master’s degree in African music from the University of Cape Town, is renowned for her knowledge of traditional music.

Artscape Theatre Centre, Foreshore, from September 16 to 22. Book at Computicket. Tel: 021 421 7695. Website: www.artscape.co.za.
