Follow is a traditional performance art containing elements of all major forms of art Kenya: stories, songs, music, dance, rituals, etc. Participation active is key to follow. The line between artist and audience is less clear than in many other art forms Kenya.
You will not see these often along tourist routes, but Mzizi Arts Centre in Nairobi has organized monthly monitoring activities.
Theatre and performance
There are many theater groups in Kenya, most of them based in Nairobi. The names to remember are the theater group and Phoenix Mbalamwezi Miujiza players. They are often made in foreign cultural centers in Nairobi, Mombasa and Kisumu.
In Nairobi, Kenya is the National Theatre. He is known for the controversy he created with the production "I'll marry when I want" by Ngugi wa Ngugi wa Mirii Thiong'oy, which led to a confrontation with the government.
The reports, Kenyans also satire and stand-up comedy. A group popular Redykuylass ("ridiculous") that appears in a weekly television show with a mix political and social satire.
Literature
In Kenya, oral histories the oldest form of literature. Oral histories are important in many communities. written literature Swahili and English, which emerged in the early twentieth century. However, only after Kenya's independence (1963) a body of literature National came into existence.
A distinguished author (novelist, playwright and essayist) is Ngugi wa Thiong'o. As a kid in school missionary, was a devout Christian, but later rejected Christianity and became a fierce critic of colonialism. Changed its name from James Ngugi wa Thiong'o Ngugi in 1976 and embraced its culture of origin Kikuyu and Marxism.
In writing the first novel in English by an African author is – "Do not cry, my child" (1964) – has published its first book in Kikuyu in 1980: "Caitaani mutha-Ini (Devil on the Cross). He now argues that literature written by Africans in a colonial language is not really African literature. In 1992, Ngugi became professor of literature at the University of New York.
Film
There is a small film industry in Kenya, which is fighting to stay alive, as in other parts of Africa. However, a new generation of filmmakers in Kenya is inspired by the success of the Nigerian video industry. A filmmaker like Kibaara Kauga, which in 2004 produced the famous "Enough" – a famous story of the Mau Mau rebellion – with a minimal budget.
In addition, foreign filmmakers Kenya were used as background for his works. The most famous is, of course, Sydney Pollack, Out of Africa "(1985) with Meryl Streep and Robert Redford, who is on the life of Danish writer Karen Blixen, who emigrated in the decade of 1910 in Kenya to become a producer of coffee. A recent international film "The White Masai" (2005), after the true story of Corinne Hofmann Swiss woman who married a Samburu warrior and joined the tribal life. N no happy ending here. These and other films are reviewed in my movies page on Kenya.
Some cinemas in Nairobi Film Century 20 (Mama Ngina Street), Fox Drive-In Cinema (Thika road) and Nairobi Film (Uchumi House, Aga Khan Walk).
Crafts
In Kenya is well and work in trades art difficult. It is sometimes surprising to see people in rags sitting outside their "home" (If you could call it that), and produce tables carved wooden chairs in a beauty you will not see anywhere in North America or Europe.
Most of craft products to tourists. It is preferable to leave aside all questions you might have a purist about its authenticity, and simply enjoy their own beauty (often do.) Compare that with American or European culture, which is also evolving. The Beatles are so "true European" like Beethoven!
wood carvings of people and animals can be purchased anywhere in the world. classical sculptures are of women wearing very long baskets on their heads.
soapstone objects are another popular art in Kenya. The soapstone is mined in western Kenya and Abigusii Gusii tribes. They then produce beautiful sculptures, chess, etc. thereof. Each piece is individually carved by artisans and then wet sanded, polished and hand dyed. soapstone products can be purchased everywhere in Kenya.
Jewelry (often in pellet form) are another specialty Kenya and can be purchased in all colors of the rainbow. Jewelry is important in African culture. Much of the jewelry contains cowries Kenya. They are not only beautiful but also symbolic.
Masai spears and shields are also popular souvenirs. However, first check with your airline and customs if you can take home. Another solution is that it was mailed. Some tourist shops offer this option.

How to make soap in colonial times?
Please include step by step instructions and ingerdiants. Or you can include a URL in step by step instructins. Please and thank you! ♥
Not really a great book called "The Jabonero Full: Tips, techniques and recipes known luxury Hand "by Norma Coney. I received this book several years ago. The instructions are very good and the recipes are good and reliable. I saw this book at the local library, but can usually be found in the library. Part the hardest part of making soap from scratch for me was finding the ingredients. I had trouble finding fat and a very difficult time finding the laundry. You need some equipment such as a stainless steel pot, a pitcher can be used to mix the laundry scale, rubber gloves (which need these when mixing lye), plastic "wood", spoons, etc. Because you are working from fat and lye, you must be careful. Here is a site known as age timers used to do to http://waltonfeed.com/old/soap/soapold.html
