Thank you @kenyanheroes for this. Feels like the work has just begun. This recognition is just the first but very important step in actualizing our dreams in this unique arts field. kenyanheroes.com/honorable-m… @kawivew @MaryK2022 @OnyangOndiege
Contemporary dance, as it is being manifested in the here and now, is any physically embodied performance form that responds firstly to the idea of the moving body as the prime means of communication, storytelling and expression.

In the context of activism and human rights, our mixed ability dance becomes a radical aesthetic of justice. It insists that access is not a favor but a right, and that cultural participation is fundamental to human dignity. This art form situates itself within global struggles
exclusions and discriminations are inscribed. Dance becomes a radical act of reclamation: it redefines what movement, beauty, and ability mean. It reveals a spectrum of creativity, where access and adaptation are sources of new aesthetics. This redefinition extends beyond
performance — it challenges urban design, education, and cultural policy, advocating for environments that honour all bodies. We hope to establish a long term collaboration with our communities, partners and fans under the #ifikedanceke project and to extend beyond our borders.
