I’m back!! Well sort of…
I’ve currently been on hiatus pursuing the whole job/career thing. So please excuse the delay. I’m currently trying to get things back up and running… We’ll see how that works.
Anyway I recently received a response from Carmen concerning the state of ballet in Zimbabwe her post is as follows…
“Hi. I live in South Africa and am the International Representative for Africa for the Royal Academy of Dance, London. I consequently have had to research dance/ballet in Zimbabwe and was also delighted to learn of a ballet company in existence.
Due to limited sources of funding, Zimbabwe has one classical ballet company, The National Ballet Company of Zimbabwe, and a professional contemporary dance company, the Tumbuka Contemporary Dance Company. Both fall under the Dance Trust of Zimbabwe (DTZ). Dancers in the National Ballet Company of Zimbabwe are not paid but gain valuable performance experience.”
Thanks so much! I’ve recently been on the look out for more interesting companies and projects out there. People who are really branching out from the norm. Feel free to post if you have some news to share on your personal project, company or choreography. I would love to get in touch with you and hear more about what you’re doing!
