When Kamogelo Molobye was a first-year law student at South Africa's Wits University, he was shown a production called "The Amazing Other Show," which "sparked an interest in using performance beyond entertainment value and looking at performance as a way of knowing and producing embodied knowledge systems," he says in a university press release.

Thirteen years later, the Soweto-born Molobye is a lecturer, academic, choreographer, performer, researcher, and writer, working on a PhD in movement studies and choreographic practices.

He's also a member of the Board of Performance Studies international, an arts and research association, and co-host of the PSi conference in 2023, the first time it's been held in Africa.

"What interested me about PSi was having an international body on the field of research with voices and perspective from a range of positions from around the world," says Molobye.

"I hope that the PSi conference in 2023 places these practices and forms of research in dialogue and exchange with the work of artists and scholars in Africa and globally."
