According to the Spoleto website: When Compagnie Käfig first appeared at Spoleto Festival USA in 2002, the relatively unknown young troupe was an instant audience hit.

Creatives Have Found a Home in Charleston
Once non-existent, the Holy City is bursting at the seams with creativity.
Charleston has always been a favorite destination for vacationers. A history-rich, sleepy Southern town at the ocean’s age will always be attractive.

No person typifies the creative class better than Ayoka Lucas (pictured). She’s the founder and force behind Charleston Fashion Week. In a few short years, Fashion Week has gone from a local event to one getting international attention. Speaking to Patch at the DIG South Conference in Charleston last month, Lucas described what it’s been like to witness the city’s transformation. “I have a different appreciation for what Charleston now is,” …
