Wanjiru Kamuyu<\/a>\u2019s An Immigrant’s Story<\/a><\/em> is inspired by her own story, which meets at the crossroads of fellow travelers\u2019 stories. \u00a0<\/p>\n

The intitmate sharings, testimonies, of others allow for self-examination and inspire seizing opportunites despite obstacles faced — external factors, societal and familial pressures, legislative constraints and personal choices — while building home a new.<\/p>\n

The question of accessiblity arises. How do we render our collection of stories<\/a>, constantly evolving and growing, the most accessible possible?<\/p>\n

Currently we are in the development stages of rendering the work accessible to both the hearing and visually impaired communities.<\/p>\n

For the hearing impaired audience, a second dancer who masters the French sign language, Nelly Celerine, joins Wanjiru Kamuyu on stage. In collaboration with Sign Language coach and translator Carlos Carreras, the translation of the text (performed and in the soundscore) into French sign language is being poetically interwoven into a choreographic tapestry transforming the solo into a duet.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/caminaktion.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/244109708_10166195788605085_5691196460212127807_n.jpg” title_text=”244109708_10166195788605085_5691196460212127807_n” _builder_version=”4.11.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]

After the company\u2019s first residency at micadanses (coproducer\/ Paris) in July, we were hosted for two weeks by Montpellier Danse, as part of a residency, with the support of the Foundation BNP Paribas, at The Agora, Cite International de la Danse. <\/span><\/p>\n

September 29th, we opened up our rehearsal doors to share the work in progress with Montpellier Danse\u2019s audience and the community of camin aktion’s integration program #JE\u2022SUIS<\/a>. Additionally, we welcomed into the space, a primary school class of 25, 8 year olds, to witness and share our creative process.<\/strong>
