Kinetika Bloco Summer Showcase

Friday 23 August

Join us for a joyful, energetic spectacle of young people dancing and playing steel pans, brass, woodwind and drums, in this celebration of music and connection.

 

For this annual showcase – the culmination of a ten day summer school – Kinetika Bloco draws on the vibrant music and culture of Cape Town and its surrounding areas to create a lekker celebration of music, dance and costume.

Bringing together the passion and talent of 150 young people, the performance is inspired by the healing power of music and the concept of Ubuntu – that I am because we are.

Enjoy a fun, joyful, healing, educational experience with the group as they celebrate the life of their founder Mat Fox, and the ethos of the group – the spirit of family and being the sum of their parts.

Kinetika Bloco’s mission is to engage young people from South London in long-term creative activity via music and dance, advancing their education, skills, and capacity for learning and leadership.
