The Tshwane Dance Theatre (TDT) was formed in 2002 to provide a professional home for young dancers graduating from various dance academies around South Africa. Its artistic director was Mandla Mcunu, who, together with Vicki Karras, the Head of the Dance Department of Tshwane University of Technology, discussed the possibility of forming a professional dance company that would create jobs for gra

duates. From this idea, Tshwane Dance Theatre was conceived. The company has presented new works by major South Afrcan choreographers, such as Timothy le Roux, PJ Sabbagha, Esther Nasser, Gregory Vuyani Mqoma, Sifiso Kweyama and Thabo Rapoo. The company has also appeared at important arts festivals such as Aardklop, FNB Dance Umbrella (again in 2011), the KKNK with seasons presented at the Dance Factory, University of Johannesburg Arts Centre, Brooklyn Theatre, Promusica Theatre, the South African State Theatre. In 2010, TDT also performed Redha’s Giselle in Gaborone, Botswana. TDT is also slowly building up an international repertoire, having performed acclaimed works by choreographers Redha Beintefour and Robert North.
