Artist Statement:
Performance in memory of my Grandmother. A grandmother, Penny the dog and a young boy come together in a space and time crippled by war. Chant tells a personal story journeying from the suburbs of Alberton to the squatter camp in Phola Park during the 80’s and 90’s. Chant was first commissioned by the Juliedans Artist’s Lab in 2010 and premiered at the Juliedans Festival in Amsterdam in 2011. Other performances include Goethe on Main, Dance Umbrella Festival, 2012 and the Jomba! Festival in 2015.
