| Description: | Continuing a tradition of presenting contemporary dance from around the world, "Africa/NOW" is a shared evening featuring provocative new works by South African choreographer, Gregory Maqoma and Zimbabwean-born performer, Nora Chipaumire. Gregory Maqoma, one of the most talented choreographers from South Africa, performs an excerpt from his compelling solo work, "Beautiful Me," -- that looks at the beauty of humanity. Nora Chipaumire, known for provocative and politically relevant dances, performs an excerpt from "Chimurenga," (struggle) a post revolution solo that uses movement, film, text and a sound installation, to describe the personal collective trauma of surviving war/revolution in Zimbabwe.
