Covid 19 in Conakry

Dankzij steun van Wereldhuis West-Vlaanderen, konden wij deze week met een kleine steun veel betekenen voor de gemeenschap van de acrobaten. Vandaag konden we de eerste 50 zakken in Matam, de buurt van de acrobaten verdelen. Er volgen zo nog 150 zakken in andere wijken. Daarnaast helpen we ook lokale ziekenhuizen om zich met voldoende basis materiaal uit te rusten.

Torfsfonds

Wij zijn onlangs genomineerd om een fonds te ontvangen voor ons Circus Arts School project in Guinee, West-Afrika.

We hebben kans om 1000 euro te winnen om te investeren in onderwijs voor de acrobaten. Met dit fonds willen we beginnen met Franse lessen en ‘wereldoriëntatie’ of wereldburgerschap lessen. Op die manier kunnen we 35 acrobaten, jongens en meisjes, de kans geven om zich beter voor te bereiden op een toekomst als professioneel artiest.

What we Do

CircusSchool

First of all, we want to build a professional circus school in Conakry, Guinea. To the model of the National Circus School in Montreal, we want to offer a 3 year program for students. This program aims to offer the students a possibility to grow into a professional circus artist with the space to develop their own personality and unique talents.

Exchange

A big element of Amoukanama is the exchange between people. We work with people with different world views, cultures, languages, religions etc. and strive to find common ground among them. Circus is a great tool to create connection despite differences. It speaks with values of trust through movement of the body and mind.

Amoukanama Performances / Spectacle / Optredens

Amoukanama also strives to produce their own shows. We are working both in Europe and Africa. In Belgium, we have a group of artists to perform on festivals, events, circus cabarets etc. There are several possibilities to perform. See further which acts could bring life to your festival! In Guinea, we encourage our friends to keep working as we want to create shows with the coming circusschool as well. Currently, we aim to create a show with Guinean and Belgian artists, inspired by the theme of dreams, courage, freedom and the search for connection in a world that separates things in boxes…

Concerts

We not only have a lot of acrobats, but also amazing musicians! As such, the band of Amoukanama, can give concerts in your neighbourhood or on your event. There is something to be said of dancing on African beats, freeing your mind and soul on the rhythms of the Earth!

Who We Are

11267297_1585163631736712_2077574088_n Amoukanama has been founded in the hearts of many people, especially the young acrobats of Matam Conakry, Guinea. It was them who have made the seeds for this project as it is their hard work and courage who led to the origin of the acrobatics in Guinea. however, there are a few who are currently leading the project to its realization… Let us show you a little video of who the acrobats are…
