Black Victorians explores a complex, but often forgotten black presence in pre-Windrush Britain.

About

This dance performance by Artistic Director and Choreographer Jeanefer Jean-Charles is inspired by nineteenth century studio photographs of black men, women and children. Exploring a complex, but often forgotten black presence in pre-Windrush Britain, this performance calls attention to previously “hidden figures” and challenges historical and contemporary perceptions.   

Presented in historic locations, this is an opportunity to experience history as told through choreography.

Originally premiered at GDIF 2020, the full production is now touring across the UK for summer 2021.
