About
African Woman is a new multidisciplinary live music and dance production exploring the musical lineage and revolutionary sounds of Highlife and Afrobeat that helped shape Africa’s Independence era. Brought together by an acclaimed creative team, the production features Dora Award-winning artist Esie Mensah as choreographer, director and co-writer; Grammy Award-winning musician Larnell Lewis as music director and Rudy Ray Kwaku as co-writer.
Through the powerful storytelling languages of live music and dance, African Woman revisits a pivotal moment in history, centring the women whose voices, labour, leadership and resistance helped birth, spearhead and champion social and political change across Africa and beyond. Weaving together the vibrancy of rhythm, movement and sound, the production creates an electrifying live experience that celebrates African womanhood that the whole family can enjoy.
