Recordist's notes
I had been witnessing Thembi training a group of young dancers upstairs for a while; now we are in Thembi’s office, and the light is fading quickly outside. Somewhere in the emptying building, you can still hear someone practicing, singing… while Thembi beautifully relates many of her experiences as a women artist. Here she describes to me her new production and especially the history it relates… From: http://both-sides-of-the-zambezi.tumblr.com/
