Kutamba! means to dance or to play in Zimbabwe’s main language, Shona. Kutamba School of Performing Arts was set up in 2004. It was mainly set up to enable children, youth and adults to explore Africa’s performance heritage and explore positive images of Africa through discussion, the use of the internet and African theatre and other visual art forms. It is however an intercultural project working with people of all backgrounds.

Kutamba School of Performing Arts
The school was intiated by members of Sunduza Dance Theatre led by Simon Banda and Mandla Sibanda. The project was steered through SEMEA (Southern E Media Education & Arts), a not for profit organisation. SEMEA is based in Sheffield and supports capacity building projects through culture with young people in Southern Africa.

The school is running a number of activities this coming Spring term.
