Toyi-toyi for film

Design Indaba Expo 2010: Craig Charnock's How to Toyi-Toyi is a quick dummies-guide to South Africa’s most powerful dance.

Made by entrepreneur, drop-out Sangoma, Xhosa teacher, ex-actor, wannabe philanthropist, cultural immersion facilitator and quasi film-maker Craig Charnock, How to Toyi-Toyi is a quick dummies-guide to South Africa’s most powerful dance. “Most of my material focuses on diversity and cultures, and the similarities and differences between them (and people) and how the notion of ubuntu is a practical tool for healing the world when understood correctly, and not just a new-age in vogue PC catchphrase,” explains Charnock. See How to Toyi-Toyi along with a host of other independent short films at Design Indaba Expo’s film festival, aired between fashion shows.
