A kaleidoscope of dynamic traditional Zulu culture from this acclaimed company of singers, dancers and percussionists is available for UK festivals from May to September each year. Based in the UK for part of the year the Mighty Zuly Nation is a theatre company, a band, a dance troupe, a gaggle of storytellers and school of educators all rolled into one.

You can have six performers or more (depending on the festival budget). The Mighty Zulu Nation is an multi-telented and versatile company of up to twenty interchangeable performers who can work in large or small groups. They are happy to do both workshops (up to two per day) and performances (up to two per day) and they couldn't be easier to work with. Not only that, but festivals really get great value out of this amazing act on so many levels. They'll work with adlults, children or family groups.

In addition to the festival performance and workshops themselves MZN are experienced educators with a diverse programme of educational workshops and many years experience of delivering educational workshops and residencies as part of a cohesive festival outreach programme.
