Botswana

Dumela, Rra! Dumela, Mma! We learned to greet the men and women of Gaborone, Botswana with these warm words.

Arriving after sunset, our crew was happy to be greeted by our host, Thomas Hornemann, and our dance team, the Mophato Dance Theater. It took two vehicles to transport all our bags and people to the estate where we both stayed and filmed. Early the next morning, we met our wonderful dancers. Six men and Six women were there to share the traditional dance forms that had been modified by choreographer Andrew to fit the symphonic music of Beethoven.
