Dance Month – Sentient Being

Sentient Being is choreographed and performed by MANACAN, a South African dance and music duo consisting of artists Ciara Baldwin and Nathan Bartman. “We are fascinated by how animals connect and relate, the relationships different species build among themselves – some mate for life, some are ruthless in their mating habits. There is something almost magical about how they interact, communicate and live among each other. We wish to present on stage what we feel is so incredible about nature and animals in their natural habitat – and about the immediacy of life in the wild, which is about making sure you do whatever you need to do today in order to make it to tomorrow. Embodying the true meaning of being present.”
