We are a collective of 22 passionate professionals, each contributing to a movement that empowers individuals and communities. Every production sustains livelihoods, builds careers, and nurtures dreams. When you support Vuyani Dance Theatre, you are investing in the future of African arts.
Our Work
From Johannesburg to global stages, Vuyani Dance Theatre has captivated audiences with full-length works such as Cion, Genesis, and Exit/Exist — each blending poetry, theatre, and music into a uniquely African narrative.
Our performances reimagine literature, history, and everyday life, turning movement into a living, breathing art form that transcends cultural and language barriers.
An intrigue of dance and music that spins on the weight of mourning, Cion: Requiem of Ravel's Boléro, using acapella music of Isicathamiya, sung by the Soweto Gospel Choir.
Exit/Exist, a piece based on memory; rephrasing the notion of existence and simply existing in order to exist.
