OH. WHAT. A. NIGHT. 🏆🥂✨ Still on cloud nine after the 15th @kyknettv & @tribuo_fund Fiësta Awards… what an unforgettable celebration of the arts! 💫 Dance stood proudly alongside every other art form — and we are beyond grateful for the recognition. Die Een Wat Bly took home Best Dance/Movement Award 2026 💃🏽🕺🏽 #rewardingtimes • To our incredible creative team — you are pure magic. Thank you for your passion, dedication, and heart. This journey wouldn’t be the same without you ❤️ @suidsel @gideonlombard @nellvdmerwe @marievogts @nataliefisher5678 @newmaneddie398 • Endless gratitude to everyone who supported and believed in us along the way — @kknkfees @nati.kunste @suidoosterfees_sof @festivalcatalystsa and the Jobs Fund. • Huge congratulations to @shaun1478 @vanstergrant and @daneelsekiekies - Here’s to more storytelling, more movement, and more moments like this ✨ #figureof8dancetheatre #awards #winners #dance 📷 @gysloubser

💡On Stage, now showing @baxtertheatre #ListeningWallsWearOffTheirColour 🎭 • A dynamic collaboration of three prestigious former Rolex protégés: Maya Zbib (Lebanon), @leeserle Lee Serle (Australia), and Mateo López (Colombia). Joining on stage are award-winning South African dancers @koolsokool and @vanstergrant will both perform. • The performance forms an ever-shifting landscape and architecture of frames, revealing and concealing a myriad of fictional characters and moving bodies. We follow their stories in abstract narratives; they can be anyone. How can an individual story trace the lines of a collective one? 💃🏽🕺🏽🕺🏽 • #collaboration #comingtogether #makingmoves #unite

Happiness 🥳🎊😘🫶🏽 5 January 2026 🥂 • #happiness #newyear #festive #birthdaycelebrations #seasongreetings
