‘Hotel’ featuring compositions by Philip Miller and costumes by Robyn De Klerk, is a multi-layered, dance theatre work using Guillaume Apollinaire’s poem of the same name as an starting point. People, thoughts and ideas check-in and check-out, some linger and occupy, whilst some depart as quickly as they arrive. It is an uncontrollable place which is sometimes real and then again, sometimes only in our subconscious.

Philip Miller’s REwind: A Cantata for Voice, Tape & Testimony, which comes to the Baxter Theatre for three performances only from 12 to 14 May at 8pm, will feature the legendary Sibongile Khumalo joined by soloists Otto Maidi, Stéfan Louw and Nozuko Teto alongside the Cape Town Opera Voice of the Nation chorus along with Heavenly Voices Chorus and a string octet led by Marian Lewin.

Dance Umbrella 2011 is scheduled to run from February 24 to March 6, 2011. For ten days Johannesburg will be engulfed by contemporary dance. The venues will include Wits Theatre, The Dance Factory, the Goethe on Main and UJ Arts Centre.
