Steven Kasamba
Founder & Director, Bantu Arts
Steven started performing at a very early age whilst growing up in Uganda. He came to the UK as a performer and has worked with several organisations and agencies to promote African Arts.
He also performed in various theater productions across the UK and it was during this period that he realised the importance of preserving the traditional East African arts, in particular, the performing arts passed down through generations in Uganda. He also wanted to raise the profile of artists who specialise in these traditional performing arts for them to be recognised as professional artists who had a lot to offer the UK and Europe and to educate people about the different cultures.
Steven has actively been raising the profile of African arts by delivering drumming and dance workshops across the UK. You can get a glimpse of this by simply typing his name into google. To help achieve this dream and have a greater understanding, he studied Dance, Drama, Theatre and Performance Studies at Roehampton University.
