An International Cultural Exchange Residency

Miami Light Project and the Centre for Less Good Idea initiate a 5-year international cultural exchange collaboration rooted in extended performance-based residencies in Miami, FL and Johannesburg in South Africa. Miami-based artists with whom the artists from the Centre are working together to create new work that culminates in the OPEN MOMENT (a work-in-progress showing) in both locations, to which the public will be invited. The first phase of a weeklong workshop takes place at The Light Box Studio at Miami Theater Center on November 2-8, 2024. Join us for the OPEN MOMENT on Friday November 8 at 7 P.M. on Stage at Miami Theater Center.

Biography

The Centre for the Less Good Idea is an interdisciplinary theatrical incubator founded by world- renowned and award winning South African artist William Kentridge, and his esteemed artistic associate Bronwyn Lace. Focusing on collaboration among artistic disciplines and integration of text, music, performance, projected images and dance, these productions bring together world-class performers, creatives, technicians, and producers to create powerful and resonant works of art which reflect the legacies of colonialism and apartheid within the landscape of South Africa’s socio-political landscape.
