BUSHWAACKING
BUSHWAACKING a world first
BUSHWAACKING exploded into world, premiering at the Infecting The City public space arts festival in March 2014.
A bold and sassy hybrid of genderbending American urban dance "Voguing" & "Waacking" and the sexy swag of South African Urban Jives
BUSHWAACKING invaded the stairs of the Iziko South African National Gallery with ferocious fierceness.
Dubbed THE HOMECOMING BALL: BUSHWAACKING is the invention and creation of Cape Town's First Lady of Live Drag ODIDIVA working with choreographer Nkosinathi "NATTY" Sangweni.
"MYSOGNY = HOMOPHOBIA" states ODIDIVA in black catsuit with deep slits running from thigh to ankle, wrapped in an avanta garde collared African Print cape as she repatriates dance moves from Western Pop Culture declaring South Africa as the only African Country
"Where you can love who'm ever you wanna love"
Supported by a group of freshfaced dancers who seemed to have stepped off straight from the townships of Cape Town to BUSHWAACK with sneering street attitude and precision.
Now a music video of BUSHWAACKING is currently in production, directed by prolific and multi-award winning British Filmaker Sven Harding.
BUSHWAACKING is about to go global!

NEW PARTNERS
SVEN Harding
Sven is not Swedish and is not blonde, he was born in Sheffield where as a youth he sportedblue hair and played bass guitar in a band that supported The Clash. His career began as a graduate of the Fine Art, Communication Arts course at Sheffield school of Art. This and his passion for music lead him to become a renowned music video director, shooting promos for the like of Jamie Cullem, Gabrielle, Beautiful South and Jamelia. Sven loves working with choreographers and dancers to make ‘film musical’ style ads. He also loves a shallow depth- of -field, lens flares, backlight and creating highlights on shiny, beautiful stuff.
This frequently
location-led, ‘photographic’ approach to film-making has lead to him shooting projects in such far-flung territories as China, Ethiopia, Cuba, Croatia, South Africa, Morocco and Spain. Sven has also directed several widely-acclaimed spots for environmental campaign groups such as Greenpeace, the Environmental Justice Foundation and WildAid.
