Makuda

I’m proud to begin my Public PhD in choreography, researching the intersection between dance, art, and social development.

The project Omnivibrance will explore how movement, vibration, and decolonial practice
can open new perspectives on art and society.

In collaboration with Operaen i Kristiansund and Kunsthøgskolen i Oslo.
Looking forward to this journey 😀

Tendai Malvine Makurumbandi er glad for å starte med doktorgrad og forsking på samspillet mellom dans og samfunnsutvikling.

What does my body carry that wasn’t given language?

Today we moved through that question.
Through rhythm, weight, breath —
through what can’t be said, only felt.

Grateful for this room,
for the people, the presence, the pulse.

⭐️Choreographer | Artistic Director
Tendai leads MYSONg with vision and movement rooted in identity and storytelling. His choreography bridges cultures and emotions, creating a deeply physical and poetic experience.
Q: What does it mean to bring MYSONG to Copenhagen and Dansehallerne?
A: “I feel privileged and honored to bring the performance here. Looking back — from the creation in Kristiansund, to winning the Hedda Award — MYSONG has grown beyond what we imagined.
It’s meaningful to share it in a new space, and exciting to see how it keeps evolving. We can’t wait to take it even further.”
