NINA: By Whatever Means

Approved

Opening the mixed programme is Will Tuckett’s Then or Now, originally created in 2020. Emotional and urgent, it pairs Tuckett’s innovative choreographic language with the poetry of feminist Adrienne Rich to explore themes of home and belonging.

The work is followed by Nina: By Whatever Means, Mthuthuzeli November's love letter to the renowned musician, performer and activist, Nina Simone.
