BLACK EXODUS is a visualisation of what the black community looks separated from the structure of racism. Exploring what the black community needs to do in order to achieve healing and a utopia/community strong enough to combat its internal issues. Its aim is to empower the black community and encourage them to imagine a world where they become their own standard of beauty and aspirations. Using the richness and pain of their past to engineer their futures. Creative activists, who are on the front line of the pursuit, discuss the initial conversations needed to achieve this black utopia, focusing on topics around healing, the role of men and women in the community, Ancestry, Faith an spirituality, the acceptance of black queerness in the community and death and rebirth.
Green / Percy / Groom / Queen’s Attendant
Beset by problems at home and abroad, a capricious king is forced to relinquish his ‘hollow crown’. As his supporters abandon him and his power trickles away, Richard reflects with startling eloquence on the disintegration of his status and identity. Adjoa Andoh and Lynette Linton direct the first ever company of women of colour in a Shakespeare play on a major UK stage, in a post-Empire reflection on what it means to be British in the light of the Windrush anniversary and as we leave the European Union.
