Master East African teacher and performing artist, Godfrey Muwulya began training as a dancer and musician in his native Uganda in primary school at the age of five years. He joined Ndere Troupe, Uganda's cultural ambassadors to the world as their star dancer and instrumentalist. He left the Ndere Troupe in 2007 and started performing and traveling as a solo dancer, teacher, and instrumentalist.

Godfrey engaged with the Island community in many ways during his fall residency from November 6th to 15th.

Godfrey performed with members of Native Earth at Pathways at The Chilmark Tavern, taught a Public Movement Workshop at Slough Farm, all while teaching 4th and 5th graders about East African rhythms and traditions.

 “There’s always a lot of excitement for Godfrey’s program. Last year, a parent commented on how her high school student and now her 4th grader had both participated in the program. We are happy to hear that we are impacting generations of youth with dance!” -Yvonne Mendez, Programming Director
