Dialogue is often regarded as one of the main ways to communicate and build relationships in life. Many times, we tend to impose verbal dialogue and disregard the facts that at times, given circumstance, words may not be that easy to utter, and for some, they cannot be heard. Literally.
Kweku Addison realised this gap in communication and initiated African footprints international. With collaboration from the Cape Coast School for the deaf, a performance project aimed at including the deaf and in art practices that they were usually excluded from was born. Practices such as music, or dance.
This sounds like a great initiative that not only includes the deaf, but also bridges the banks in communication, making us realize that we can intertwine our senses, and broaden our perspectives. Read more about the African Footprints International project here.
I'm not sure if there are deaf dancers in this clip, but you can check out one of their electrifying performances in the video below:
Reminded me of that dance in the Royal wedding scene in coming to America.

Peace, love and Africa!
