Island Movements is a short ballet that tells the epic story of Windrush and explores the impact of this generation’s experiences on their families, communities and society.
Beginning with a young Caribbean soldier in WW2 Britain, this moving tale follows her and her family through their life in the UK up to the current day.
Featuring original music by the groundbreaking Kinetika Bloco, the story is driven by a pulsating mix of reggae, calypso and contemporary black British music. The show will be followed by a Q&A with the dancers and creators.
If you’ve never seen a ballet before, then this is the one for you!
