Gregory Maqoma Speaks about Beautiful Me

Rising South African choreographer Gregory Maqoma, hailed as a dance-hero in his home city of Johannesburg, refers to himself as a cultural cocktail, saying that life in a city like Johannesburg provides a perfect platform for cross-cultural production, especially in dance.

Meet Maqoma and hear first-hand about the creation of Beautiful Me - an autobiographical dance work developed in collaboration with three prominent choreographers from different cultures and with different dance languages - Akram Khan (UK), Faustin Linyekula (Congo) and Vincent Mantsoe (South Africa).

12.30pm - 1.30pm, Tuesday 8 March.
