During these uncertain and trying times, Dance Umbrella started a Facebook conversation with those who would be affected by the festival’s demise. A strong sentiment from that debate was a suggestion for the festival to restructure and reposition itself for a new start. The rescue may not only be for the dance festival. The State Theatre is not immune to the struggles of dwindling audiences and it remains to be seen whether Dance Umbrella Africa and Nyamza’s new position as deputy artistic director of the theatre can bring new audiences.
