“Moving Forward” - physical theatre expression of life after grief - Performing Art Works

This expressive choreography explores how to continue with life after the loss of a loved one.

A note from the choreographer:
My father passed away recently. Well, actually, more than a year ago, but I still miss him like it was yesterday. I have always had this expectation that we lose someone, we grieve, and then we get over it. But we can't just delete someone we love from our lives, can we? The love does not just go away. Soon after my father passed we found ourselves in a pandemic. There are so many people who have lost someone. So many people trying to come to grips with their grief. This piece of art is for all of you who are trying to move forward with your grief.
I also have to mention that it was greatly inspired by this TED talk:
   • We don't "move on" from grief. We move for...  

We are super excited to collaborate with the wonderful South African singer/songwriter, Ntsikwane. Her song, "Be with you" features in this dance. Find more of her music here:

Art, and the arts, occupy that liminal space where transformation is possible. But a global pandemic, and the accompanying restrictions have brought our industry to its knees. That's where "Performing Art Works" comes in. A South African virtual physical theatre group, it not only aims to provide work to artists who have limited opportunities, but also to provide that liminal space, so needed to both artist and spectator.

We have been fortunate to receive funding from the NAC's PESP initiative to get this project going, but to keep making art and providing opportunities we need subscriptions and viewing time. So please like, subscribe, share , and leave a comment so we can know how to improve.

Moving forward we would like to collaborate with other film makers, animators, choreographers, musicians, visual artists, writers, and poets and create beautifully artistic physical theatre pieces that are both expressive and moving.
