2024 marks the 20th anniversary of Tavaziva Dance, founded by artistic director Bawren Tavaziva in 2004 after working as a dancer for companies in Zimbabwe and in the UK.
To mark this anniversary, Bawren plans to return to the stage after many years with a solo performance reflecting on his arrival in the UK and his subsequent creative journey. Profound in meaning and elegiac in tone, Bawren’s new piece, Natural Born Suit, will be the work of a unique and mature artist working at the height of his powers.
As part of his choreographic and spoken word research and development for this new piece, Bawren will present an early excerpt from Natural Born Suit as a work in progress in London, Milton Keynes, Gateshead, and Norway, and invite audience feedback as a welcome contribution to his creative process, prior to embarking on a major tour with the full piece in 2025/2026.
