Allow us to introduce ourselves.

We are here. We've always been here. We were just ashamed of this talent camping in us but now we are here and here to be visible. You will hear about us in between the spaces of everything that's to make and do with art. Look carefully, contemplate the face of art for it got "Umcijo" tattooed on it.
 Ladies and gentlemen please allow us to introduce ourselves; we are Umcijo and you are yet to know us. But do tag yourself on our feet if you want to know what it is like stepping in a dream. Do hold our hands if you want a glimpse of reality. Do walk with us if you want a taste of the journey to greatness. And do stick with us to understand the true meaning of legendary.



Yours sincerely
Umcijo Team

Umcijo Performing Arts Dedication.

1- Stages became the daily part of our lives. These stages are our battlefield and a sanctuary in the same sentence. This is where we use art to "disturb the comfortable" and "comfort the disturbed".
 2- Art has never been this alive. Art has never breathed so dearly in the presence of Umcijo. And this is dedicated to Ayanda, who constructed Umcijo with nothing but a paper thin dream. To Nkosi who understood the dream.
 3- To Lulu, who believed the dream. This is a dedication to Prince, Chris, Vince, Steve, Brandon and Thabang who hesitated not to live Ayanda's dream. To Khuthi who smiles every time seeing the dream being lived. This one for our precious ladies; Aphelele, Lolo, Sindi and all those I forgot to mention. Thank you ladies for making sure the dream is well taken care of. 

Hello, we are Umcijo and you are yet to know us.

Yours sincerely
Umcijo Team.
