This is the contemporary dance performance group under the Guerrilla Arts. The work created by the company is an eclectic fusion of a variety of dance styles namely; modern and contemporary dance, traditional Ugandan and dance styles from various African societies and draws from a number of influences within the arts world as well as contemporary society.

Themes explored in the different creations tackle issues of identity, ritual, among many others. Their latest work, Visions of Visions of White, Shades of Grey is an exploration of the pertinent issue of response to circumstances in in contemporary society. We are faced constantly with obstacles, within and without and keep the semblance of calm all the time. In private, we struggle to convince ourselves that we have everything under control. We often ask ourselves whether we need to participate or passively exist in these uncomfortable circumstances.
