Coloured Swan 1: KhoiSwan
Moya Michael & Tracey Rose
- Attention: This performance is not wheelchair accessible.
In South Africa dancer, performer, choreographer and KVS face Moya Michaelwas classified as ‘coloured’. In her series Coloured Swans, she questions how our various imposed identities influence our bodies and how we move, speak, sing.
In KhoiSwan Moya Michael and visual artist Tracey Rose explore their shared roots and heritage. They investigate where they stand today, as women of colour and descendants of the Khoi, an indigenous people who lived in the area of South Africa currently known as the province Western Cape. Dance and performance meld with video, song and text in this poetic journey.
Michael invites artists from various disciplines and backgrounds to join her on her quest and to share their personal stories. Every encounter leads to a solo performance, created for and with the artist. Together the various swans, in all their diversity, make up one overarching, everevolving creation. A hybrid of dance, theatre, music and image – just as mixed as its makers.
