Kayamandi: Kuyasa Kids performing arts group

Performing Art

The Kuyasa Kids performing arts group started in 2004 from the Kuyasa NGO programme, which sponsors children to attend school in Kayamandi. The group initially started with sponsored children, but has since expanded, as there are no other platforms for performing arts education at local schools. Kuyasa Kids trains children in traditional dance, music, gumboot dancing and gospel. The children determine the programme to a large extent, but are facilitated by young Kayamandi-based performing artists. The group performs on tour in the USA once a year, depending on funding available from the sponsoring organisation.
