About Dance again

Muda Africa, in partnership with the Goethe-Institut, brings you a brand new programme called Dansi Tena (Dance again). It is a series of contemporary dance films created by Tanzanian and East African dancers, choreographers and videographers. Contemporary dance is a new art form in the East Africa region and it is sometimes seen as ‘weird’, ‘strange’ and ‘abstract’. Dance again films will demystify contemporary dance by having conversations with the choreographers who will explain the story, the movements and the emotions behind each creation. The viewer is requested to watch the dance film, listen to the choreographer and then watch the dance film again with a new enlightenment that will have come from the choreographer’s conversation. Dansi Tena will take place from September and will replace Muda Africa's annual Time 2 Dance Festival 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
