UN-TOUCHED

A new production by Dance for All, funded by the National Arts Council of South Africa (NAC), brings a thought-provoking reflection on how the new generation of millennials navigates life in post-democratic South Africa and beyond.

Through the expressive art of dance, Un-Touched explores the impact of political and social factors, cultural identity, religious beliefs, and evolving social tendencies on young people’s futures.

This powerful performance features the talented dancers of the DFA InSPIRAtions Youth Company, founded in honour of the late Prima Ballerina Assoluta, Phyllis Spira.

Adele Blank, choreographer extraordinaire & contemporary dance doyenne, who previously directed the InSPIRAtions Company, in 2009, returns with a new work for the company.

Expect a fusion of dance, song, and live music as DFA expands its artistic reach with the InSPIRAtions Dance & Performance Initiative.

Don’t miss this unforgettable experience!
Date: 28 March 2025
