FLATFOOT DANCE COMPANY is delighted to offer its first FLATFOOT ACCESS DANCE FESTIVAL 2022. Three new works created by FLAFTFOOT were showcased, celebrating the power of dance to transcend narrow definitions of who can dance. The first is Loots’s collaboration with the dancers called ‘same difference’ that premiered to standing ovations at SIBIKWA’s Body Moves Festival in Johannesburg in October 2022. The second work saw FLATFOOT partnering with guest choreographer from Chicago (USA) Sydney Erlikh, and her work with FLATFOOT and the FLATFOOT Downie Dance Company is called “Shield of the Heart. The final work on the programme is a collaboration between Loots, FLATFOOT and Julia Pitt, a dancer living with cerebral palsy. Loots has worked collaboratively with Pitt and FLATFOOT’s Jabu Siphika and Zinhle Nzama to create an intimate and moving trio called “perpetual motion”.
