Amany Atef

Amany will take part in Training Diaspora Africa, a course that aims to strengthen the skills of its participants from Africa and the African diaspora and to initiate a permanent dialogue between those living inside and outside Africa. The course will focus on performance and the necessary tools to help performers develop their skills. This participation will give Amany the opportunity to broaden her familiarity with new dance techniques. It will also open new avenues for her as a choreographer through exchanges with other cultures from Africa and offer her insights into the challenges facing Africans in Senegal, a country rich in cultural diversity.

The grant enables Amany to take part in an arts residency program in Ghana for multi-disciplinary artists in the framework of the Chale Wote Street Art Festival. She will participate in a research and then present performances she developed during her residency in public spaces, such as school yards and alternative art spaces.
