South Africa has produced many skilled and powerful dancers and choreographers over the years. These artists have performed on theatre stages, at festivals, in films, in community halls, on the streets and at political rallies. This book is an exciting acknowledgment of the contribution that dancers and dance made, and continue to make, to the cultural landscape of South Africa. I Praise the Dance does not attempt to offer an all-inclusive and complete historical record of South African dance. Instead, it celebrates the diversity, magnificence, beauty and power of South African contemporary dance, allowing you a glimpse of the ways in which bodies play with space, time, energy and flow, and how the dancers merge with the dance.
