Pamoja: A Coming Together
The meeting of cultures as Kenyans and Americans share traditions and experiences through the language of dance.
Pamoja is Swahili for "coming together." In the summer of 1996, Denver's Cleo Parker Robinson Dance Company — long a fixture on the international dance scene — hosted three dance troupes from Kenya. This cultural exchange was an exchange was an emotional, thought-provoking, and illuminating demonstration of the varied and irrepressible languages of dance. More importantly, it reminds us not of our differences but all we have in common.
