“Letters of Reflection” by WGRUV Dance company will take to the stage of the Lesedi at Joburg Theatre over five performances from 9-13 April 2025. The performance highlights seven original works created by Holly and Lex Gruver, as well as highlighting a much-loved piece by American choreographer Tyler Gilstrap called “Unsquared”. Each letter communicates an aspect of different, thought-provoking themes through the technical and free movement the company’s contemporary ballet-trained dancers excel at. The dancers emote a clean, fresh, hopeful look, bringing a moving, soulful quality to the stage.

Each of the seven pieces in the production unfold like a letter – deeply personal yet universally resonant – exploring themes that challenge, inspire and move through a seamless blend of technical precision and expressive freedom.

How we think about life shapes our attitudes and behaviors and the show’s narrative is a profound exploration of memories of goodness, truth and beauty through a series of intimate, poetic choreographic moments. From neoclassical to contemporary artistry, each “letter” awakens our senses – all of us, both young and old – to observe the world with fresh eyes.

This stirring performance delves into the impact of love, loss, work and relationships, examining the lies we may believe, the doubts they create and the power of community to redirect our vision toward a hopeful future. The mesmerising original choreography showcases the versatility of the company, creating both a visually stunning and spiritually enriching experience.

As movement speaks, reflections unfold and dance becomes a powerful conversation, making “Letters of Reflection” a captivating encounter. Join WGRUV Dance Company for an evening of artistry, meaning and breathtaking dance. Tickets are available from webtickets.co.za and cost between R100 and R220.
