In Inhabiting My Body, Nagham raises questions around aging within the professional dance field, as well as the body as a live archive. Together with another Cairo-based dancer in her 40s, Mona Gamil, Nagham explores the creative power of transitioning beyond youth. Through their encounter, memory, movement, and language are invoked to redefine the presence of the body in contemporary dance, addressing stereotypes around age and aesthetics.
Nagham Salah Othman (1986) is an Egyptian-Sudanese dancer and choreographer. In her creations, she explores the experiences of the marginalization and discrimination against African women, as well as movement as a universal language with which time, memory, and transformation are given shape.
