I Am An African Inspires at Grahamstown Festival 2012, South Africa
Today I found out that my poem, I Am An African, featured in a dance show by the same title at the 2012 Grahamstown Arts Festival in
South Africa. Here is the blurb from the official programme:
I Am An African
A theatrical dance explosion of rhythm, athleticism,
artistry and entertainment. Technically awe-inspiring dancers unfold the
intricacies and eccentricities of choreographic dance fusions. A foot-stomping,
nail-biting, hand-clapping audience will marvel at the works of some of the
proudest South African choreographers. This highly entertaining, proudly South
African work is set to the hauntingly beautiful poem I am an African by
Wayne Visser
