Peace after war

A Filmic Poetry production experimenting with a fusion of dance as forms of storytelling. The
director strings you along to the internal conflicts which men and women are faced with in their
daily lives in modern South Africa but then again man is always colliding with each other since time
in memorial. The Footage used brings together inciting incidences that many around the world might
identify with. Is it madness or stupidity that our world is in this forever growing turmoil or we are
just trying to find our feet in this pandemonium so then collide? Peace After War tries to understand
why is war important as a way to gaining ultimate peace and freedom across the globe.

Marcia Tandokazi Ntoni is a performing artist from Port Elizabeth with a keen interest in
performing, writing, directing and singing. My interest in Art started at the age of 13, I was
doing grade 9 at Westville high. I was top of my class in the Arts and Culture subject, because
there I got to be creative and even wrote short skits for my peers. I just felt a sense of
belonging. In 2010 I enrolled at StageWorld Theatre School where I got my training in
Performing Arts. I was chosen to partake in the Remix Laboratory 2013, which included varied
workshops aimed at performance skills development and lectures on the arts. I am
independent but can work well in a team and can show creative ideas, not only to better myself
but to better my peers around me. I am driven and always give my all in everything I do. I am a
passionate woman ready to make my mark in the Entertainment Industry.
