The Sacrifice

Dada Masilo was born in Johannesburg, South Africa. She began training at The Dance Factory at the age of 11. On matriculating from the National School of the Arts, she trained for a year at Jazzart in Cape Town; then at the age of 19, she was accepted as a student at the Performing Arts Research and Training Studios in Brussels, where she remained for two years. Masilo returned to South Africa and, in 2008, she was awarded the Standard Bank Young Artist Award for Dance. Three commissions from the National Arts Festival resulted in Romeo and Juliet (2008), Carmen (2009) and Swan Lake (2010). In May 2017, she premiered her Giselle in Oslo and The Sacrifice in Vienna in 2021. Since 2012, her works have been performed in 25 countries and 150 cities worldwide.
