‘This is outstanding, innovating, must see dance’
Once upon a time… in a faraway land… it happened… did not happen… could have happened. History is passed on like stories from generation to generation. But what if the stories are not what they seem?
This award winning work blends techniques from Bharatanatyam, contemporary dance and theatre to create a poetic narrative that has the beauty and disquiet of a Grimm’s fairytale.
Not Today’s Yesterday aligns perfectly with our own history of colonialism. It’s a visual performative metaphor that talks about power and manipulation, stories and culture, BUT most importantly, it’s about awareness, about each of our contributions and the roles we play in creating the story we are in today.
This is an important piece of dance theatre. It is authentic an honest but most importantly, it wills you to think for yourself.’
‘Not Today’s Yesterday is a poised and thoughtful work and a spectacular
performance from a powerful dancer.’
