Join National Dance Company Wales Artistic Director Bakani Pick-Up for KALANGA, an improvisation practice weaving Zimbabwean and Western dance forms.

The practice, created by Bakani, works through curiosity, sensation, and action, treating space as something alive and shapeable. Together, you’ll explore a diverse palette of what movement can be and how we can work with it—venturing into rhythm, articulation, and imagination. Guided improvisations will invite us to move in ways that open questions rather than seek solutions. The aim is to prioritise diverse ways of being, resisting ‘right’ ways of being, and allowing freedom and identity to emerge in the dancing. This is an invitation to listen deeply, move boldly, and let the unknown become part of your movement vocabulary.

Bakani Pick-Up joined National Dance Company Wales in 2025 and Blue | Glas marks their first curated tour for the company. This is a great opportunity to meet Bakani as an artist before experiencing Blue | Glas on stage at Sadler’s Wells East 24-26 September 2026.
