Matsena Productions is a performance company, focused on the entirety of movement through the use of different performative arts. The company was founded by Anthony Matsena and Amukelani Matsena.

 

Born in Bulawayo and brought up in Swansea, the brothers lead the company as Co-Artistic Directors. They have spent the last few years researching movement and its relation to the human condition through performance. Having a background in traditional African dancing and a strong background in different styles of hip-hop and krump, they merge contemporary movements together to give performance a whole new meaning. Strongly moved by aspects of theatre, poetry and writing, the company's work tends to combine different aspects of the performative arts. Recent work has drawn national and international attention, with performances on the main stage of Sadler's Wells as part of Dancing Nation - a project co-ordinated by Sadler's Wells and the BBC.
