Dada Masilo's Giselle & AkomaAsa
Saturday 5 October 2019 was a really exciting opportunity for AkomaAsa Performing Arts Academy to connect with the Dada Masilo company at Sadler’s Wells in a participatory workshop. Young artists from AkomaAsa were able to engage in a workshop led by Dada Masilo company performers on stage. They spent time exploring the themes and movement of Giselle (a fantastic show, using a dynamic and engaging fusion of contemporary, ballet and traditional Tswana dance) and also had an opportunity to talk to and interview company members. Giselle is a fantastic show - a dynamic and engaging fusion of contemporary, ballet and traditional Tswana dance.
