NNE | SO ACADEMY

A procession of sound and colour opens the performance of NNE. Offstage, four musicians lead from behind while the dancers file in slowly, cloaked in red and stomping out a soft, but enduring rhythm. They move together, into the low light of the stage, and a conversation emerges: a performative reflection on the process of initiation. Shown at The Centre for the Less Good Idea in April 2022, NNE is the performative outcome of The SO Academy’s debut dance mentorship programme, led by choreographer, performer and teacher, Teresa Phuti Mojela. NNE is fundamentally a performance about the ritual of Koma (initiation). As Mojela explains in her opening remarks, however, this is not an initiation that is specific to a particular culture, region or religion. Rather, it is open to interpretation – a collective reading of the many ways in which women experience initiation in their lives, be it going to school, going to university, leaving one’s home for the first time or taking part in an experimental dance mentorship programme.
