About the Project
Winner of
@thestageuk Awards – Community Project of the Year (2023)
Bringing together an ensemble of participants from across the world, the project unfolds over an intensive three-week residency at The Place Theatre. Participants collaborate with Protein’s artists to sing, dance, share stories and express both individual journeys and collective resilience.
As part of Protein Dance’s Real Life Real Dance programme, the project aims to engage and empower through a performance-led, collaborative approach rooted in real-life experiences.
This project is funded by Stanley Thomas Johnson and The Place, and supported by
@islingtoncentre @weareyoungroots Camden Borough of Sanctuary,
@families4peace_uk and Migrant Help UK.
