Wanjiru Kamuyu, born in Nairobi, Kenya, studied at Temple University, Philadelphia, USA and started her career in New York to then settle in Paris in 2007. Her choreography questions the notions of place, belonging and otherness. A cosmopolitan on three continents – Africa, North America and Europe – she risks being considered an immigrant wherever she decides to set up home. Her dance, a migratory map of encounters, starts with ballet, studied during her childhood in Kenya, moving into contemporary dance in the USA. Enfolded into this journey are dances from the African continent and diaspora as well as butô. Kamuyu’s body is a constantly shifting map.
