We are in conversation with Otto Andile Nhlapo who’s  journey began in traditional Zulu dance, laying a powerful cultural foundation before evolving into a dynamic contemporary career shaped by his training at Moving Into Dance. He has captivated audiences both locally and on international stages, with highlights including tours in France and a performance at the South African Presidential Inauguration. As a choreographer, his work, such as Interpellation, Gister Maoba, and Man Up, it dives deep into themes of identity, masculinity, memory, and the body as a site of lived experience. These ideas continue to unfold in his latest work, CODE/DNA.
