Walking With The Ancestors In Joy & Healing
£8 to £12
Walking with the Ancestors is an interactive, reparative reading, guiding the audience on an imagined procession in joy and healing. Shifting between collaged narratives centred in Black histories, descriptions of real and imagined spaces, movement provocations and guided body awareness exercises, this performance ritual invites the audience to consider the many layers of narratives which intersect and overlap with their own experiences and to move with them, inviting joyful possibilities for collective healing.
*Note on POC Only Booking: The first performance (3-4pm) is for people who are Black and People of Colour (BPOC) only. This is to provide a safe space for BPOC to explore their ancestral heritage without the presence of the white gaze and its associations with white supremacy. The intention behind a closed performance is to ensure that the invited group feel comfortable and supported to attend. By booking this performance you are confirming that you have heritage within the Global Majority (who are from the Caribbean, African, South Asian, South East Asian, North Africa and Middle East, Latinx, First Nation and Indigenous people diasporas). If this does not apply to you you can book into the second performance (5-6pm) which is open to all.
