The Tribhangi Dance Theatre combines Bharatanatyam and African Zulu styles to percussion rhythms from both traditions. Tribhangi represents the post apartheid era by uniting communities through inter-cultural dialogue based on Zulu and Indian dance. The director Jayasperi Moopen, a fifth generation Indian regarded as a traditional Indian choreographer is nevertheless credited with exploring cross cultural idioms, especially African forms of dance, and her work has been showcased in the country’s Dance Umbrella, at the birthday celebration of President Nelson Mandela, and at similar platforms.
The uniqueness of this troupe lies in their boldness to constantly take risks when creating dance work that is meaningful and significant in an ever-changing environment.

A workshop was held after the concert for which we invited groups and organizations from the different districts of the country involved in using music, art and culture as a means of uniting communities, who could benefit from the experience of the dance troupe.
