Edutainment at the Windhoek International Dance Festival is to develop awareness and appreciation for the art of dance.
The first annual Windhoek International Dance Festival (WIDF) is set to take Windhoek residents by storm with performances of original choreography by both local and international dancers and companies from 23 to 28 October
This is a pilot dance project that will kick off on 23 October with dance performances by West Uarije and Nikhita Winkler as well as the launch of a video and photo exhibition that focuses on dance evolution in Windhoek.
This exhibition will run until 28 October.
Starting from 24-28 October, the attendees will be engaged in workshops which include genres such as hip-hop, contemporary and Namibian contemporary just to mention a few.
These workshops will be held at the College of the Arts as well as the National Theatre of Namibia. Facilitators of these workshops are Namibia's finest local choreographers, dancers and teachers as well as international and regional facilitators from Portugal and Zimbabwe.
Registration and payments for the workshops will be done at the COTA/NTN on the day of the workshops begin.
The WIDF is also hosting three stages for Live Performances. The Urban Stage (Post Street Mall) will have a variety of flash mob performances on 25 October from 12:00 to 14:00 featuring a selection Windhoek's urban youth dancers.
