Get your body moving with a one hour movement class focusing on movement, physical performance and comedy with Zikka Zimba facilitator, Ryan Pittman. 

Zikkazimba Productions is a small company that believes, it only takes one person to make a difference. In 2008 we started by developing workshops to make drama theory more accessible to students. We then started developing works that encourage students to engage critically with their environment and that led us to exploring our own environment and seeing where we could contribute.

Join the Vuka Actor Club for a stretch and a somatic exploration with Lwazi Mdluli.
