Tswalo is a body of poems constructed to fragment in a way a narrative that is carried
in both physicality and voice. It is placed in a timeless space of existence, and explores
the primary themes of being: chaos and beauty, blood and birth, love and war, in the
same frame. The body of work was conceived through celebrating and investigating
performance poetry in a theatrical space: poetry as a language of liberation, both
performative and literal in this contemporary time, and as a tool to explore the discipline
of performance, borrowing from that of crafting a poem.
