Gregory Maqoma

Author Information

Gregory Vuyani Maqoma became interested in dance in the late 1980s as a means to escape the growing political tensions growing in Soweto, South Africa, where he was born. He started his formal dance training in 1990 at Moving into Dance, where he, later, became the Associate Artistic Director in 2002. He founded Vuyani Dance Theatre (VDT) in 1999 while undertaking a scholarship at the Performing Arts Research and Training School (PARTS) in Belgium, under the direction of Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker. Maqoma has established himself as an internationally renowned dancer, choreographer, teacher and director.
Greg has received numerous awards, among these the Standard Bank Young Artist Award for dance in 2002; the Tunkie Award for Leadership in Dance (2012), the New York City’s premier dance award, a “Bessie”, for Exit/Exist for original music composition (2014); and the Chevalier de L’Ordre des Artes et des Lettres (Knight of the Arts & Literature) Award in 2017 from the French government. Maqoma celebrates his fiftieth birthday in 2023 and he has curated a number of legacy projects that he will be revealing as the year progresses.
Gcina Mhlophe is a celebrated South African author, playwright and performer who has made a significant impact in the literary and entertainment industries. Her creative work spans across multiple genres, including children’s literature, poetry, plays and short stories.
Gcina has also made a name for herself as a performer, having produced and performed on a CD for children with Ladysmith Black Mambazo, as well as performing her own stories for television audiences on the SABC TV series Gcina & Friends. With her talent and creativity, Gcina has become an inspiration to many aspiring writers and performers, both in South Africa and beyond.
