For 21 days in July, the Sundance Institute Theatre Program will be in residence at Akili and Diamond Beach Village on the Island of Manda in the Lamu Archipelago with 20 East African theatre artists.
The space that defines the Sundance Institute Theatre Program is that precious wedge of time between "idea" and "production" when artists dream, leap into their discomfort, their unknown, and get closer to their vision. I believe that theatre artists tell the truth and so at Sundance, we become their stewards, assuring their safe journeys, and championing that their voices be heard. -Philip Himberg
