Maasai Jumping Dance in Nairobi Temple Courtyard

by Carole Hamilton

Under a heavy overcast sky, figures in vibrant red and blue shukas leap in unison across a packed earth courtyard. The crisp high-altitude light diffuses through the clouds, flattening shadows while highlighting the texture of the reddish soil kicked up by bare feet. Symmetrical stone pillars frame the action on either side, creating a rigid geometric border against the organic movement of the dancers. Wet patches on the ground reflect the gray sky, indicating the recent rain of the wet season. Every muscle in the mid-air bodies is tense, frozen in the peak of the vertical jump. at the edge is a single red sandal hovering inches above the damp, dark earth.
