This week will be Tavaziva’s last week in the office before the company break for Christmas! The week is going to be crammed full of hard work in the office and studio as we all work towards the preparation and completion of work for the Spring 2012 Tour! The Christmas party at Winter Wonderland will be a well deserved treat for the whole Company at the end of this week, giving us all an opportunity to get excited for the festive season ahead! Joanna was also the winner of our Christmas card competition with a brilliant entry and for a preview see the link below!
During the week I had the opportunity to meet with Rosie Jacobs the costume designer and see samples of possible ideas for the costume used in ‘Sensual Africa’. Bawren wants to resemble the traditional style of the Tumbuka and Chewa tribes and emphasise the sensuality of the dancers through different use of costumes in the first and second half. With neutral earthy colours and extravagant necklaces and shoulder pieces the dancers will have a striking appearance for their audience.
The first half of ‘Sensual Africa’ is complete and hopefully this week I will be able to go and have a sneak preview of the dancers in action! Bawren and the dancers have been working extremely hard in the studio creating material for the second half and each day the work is developing and stunning material is constantly being produced. It is so inspiring to be involved within this creative process and to see Bawren’s vision come together with such success. If you haven’t already, make sure you go to www.tavazivadance.com to see the tour schedule for ‘Sensual Africa’ 2012 and book in advance to avoid disappointment!
There is a huge amount to look forward to for Tavaziva in the New Year, so make sure you look out for us on Twitter and Facebook to see what the company will be up to! We will also have our promo video for ‘Sensual Africa’ coming soon to give you all a flavour and essence of the new work.
