Flatfoot Dance Company Presents Happenstance
Durban’s much-loved Flatfoot Dance Company will perform two bespoke performances created especially for the KZNSA Gallery in Glenwood, titled Happenstance.
Flatfoot’s Artistic Director, Lliane Loots explains:
“Happenstance is an evocative series of meetings and partings that trace contemporary relationships. “Happenstance” is a synonym for coincidence, accident, a chance event or encounter … but usually producing positive results. In this we invite the audience to journey with the dancers as they confront, meet and encounter one another in a display of beautiful soulful dance that resonates all that is possible when ‘happenstance’ becomes a powerful force for our individual and collective growth.”
Flatfoot welcomes Nairobi based dancer Maulid Owino from Kenya’s Dance Into Space (DIS) for these performances.
“We have a long partnership with DIS and are delighted to be deepening our encounters by hosting Owino during February 2025. Owino’s fluid grace and skill as a dancer will afford Durban audiences a rare glimpse of the power of these fragile and yet beautiful African connections.”
Happenstance is created in a collaboration between Lliane Loots, Maulid Owino and the Flatfoot dancers; Sifiso Khumalo, Jabu Siphika, Zinhle Nzama, Siseko Duba, Sbonga Ndlovu, and Ndumiso ‘Digga’ Dube.
Performing in the open-air spaces of the KZNSA, promises to provide a magnificent evening under the warm summer skies of Glenwood. The KZNSA Gallery and café will be open from 5.15pm for (selected menu) dinner, and a walk around the exhibition gallery.
