Boyzie CEKWANA/THE FLOATING OUTFIT PROJECT

Contemporary dance from SOUTH AFRICA

Hailed as a "Wunderkind" of South African dance, choreographer Boyzie Cekwana quickly achieved international recognition with his contemporary dance company, performing at major Festivals across Europe, in South (Johannesburg's FNB VITA Dance Festival) and East Africa (Madagascar).

The Company will make its US debut in January-February 2006 with JA'NEE, its recent and powerful work for 8 dancers, which deals with Africa's male dominated society, AIDS, violence and child abuse.
