Close To Home: The Mass Dance Event
JUMP TO EventsHundreds of dancers came together for a spectacular performance exploring ideas of 'home'.
We took over the grounds of Sedgehill Academy in Bellingham for two days of performances, telling real-life stories of migration, community, activism, history and the people of Lewisham.
In a piece directed by Alleyne Dance, local community groups including Lewisham Mencap, primary and secondary school pupils, university students from IRIE! dance theatre and Trinity Laban, and individuals were joined by a cohort of professional dancers and the Wuntanara drummers for a truly inclusive and joyous exploration of what home and belonging mean to the residents of Lewisham.
