EXCLUSIVE! NEW CHRISTMAS SHOW! Edward Scissorhands: The Story of Snow.
Christmas and Culture with Barefeet
For the first time Barefeet will be producing a Christmas show for the children in Lusaka. The magic has begun, and the new show will be premiered at the Lusaka Playhouse from 8th- 13th December 2008! ‘Edward Scissorhands: The story of snow’, is an adaptation of the famous Tim Burton film. With the usual flair, the Barefeet team have transformed the beautiful story of an outsider, and fused it with Dance, Rhythm, Song, Acobatics, illusion, AMAZING aesthetics and plenty and plenty of snow!
The play will run during the week in the mornings and afternoons (10hrs and 1330hrs), with preference being given to schools bookings. All the children form the Barefeet network will also see the show as will the kids from the street! Bookings can be made by calling Mia on 0976447002!

ALSO!!!!!!! As if that wasn’t enough! Barefeet have teamed up with Kulture Consult to bring the Zimbabwean dance troup ‘Tumbuka dancers’, for their first outing in Lusaka.
Tumbuka, a Shona word meaning ‘to bloom or to flower’, provided the inspiration for the company which, less than a year after its formation, received the Johannesburg Dance Umbrella Festival’s first standing ovation in its five year history.
