Nagham Salah Othman (EG)
Inhabiting my body
The Egyptian dancer and choreographer Nagham Salah Othman considers her body as a live archive in which also her Sudanese heritage lives on. On the eve of her fortieth birthday, together with contemporary and Caïrot Mona Gamil, she explores the creative power that flows when youth makes place for ripeness. Between memory, movement and language she redefines the presence of the body in contemporary dance and breaks through the stereotypes round age and esthetics.
In her previous creation, Nagham Salah Othman explored the experiences of marginalizing and discrimination of African women, which she turned into concrete physical expression. In her performances movement becomes a universal language with which time, memory and transformation are given shape.
