Dance Month – Thin Line

Created and performed by Diana Odhiambo from Kenya, Thin Line seeks to amplify women’s voices, particularly women of colour, who are often unseen and unheard. The work explores issues such as gender imbalance, cultural pressures, marginalization, and stereotypes rooted in traditional practices while examining the conflict between societal expectations and modern realities. It highlights the struggles African women face in dance and choreography. Drawing from personal experience, community feedback, and research, the piece contrasts generational perspectives through contemporary, traditional, and modern dance, using music and dialogue.
