About

Island Movements: An epic tale of the lives of a family from the Windrush generation

Island Movements is a short ballet that tells the story of Windrush, exploring the impact of this generation’s experiences on their families, communities and society.

Beginning with a young Caribbean woman who volunteers to support the war effort in WW2 Britain, this moving tale follows her and her family through their life in the UK to the current day.

Developed by Darren Panton, the first black British dancer to graduate from the Royal Ballet School and Patrick Williams, who danced at Alvin Ailey and the Paris Opera. Choreographed by Greta Mendez MBE and Shevelle Dynott.

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 later 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!

Part of the Black British Ballet Project by Oxygen Arts and made possible with the National Lottery Heritage Fund and Libraries Connected.

Join us on Sunday 15 October 2023, Black Brits will be hosting an awards ceremony entitled:

‘Upon The Shoulders Of Giants 2023’

These awards will recognise and celebrate the unsung heroes and trail blazing pioneers who have laid the foundations upon which we stand and continue to build today. Without those brave pioneers making that journey to the UK all those years ago and sticking it out through unfamiliar weather, social intolerance and menial paid work, we, (the first born generation in Britain) may not have been afforded the opportunities we now enjoy.

A host of celebrities will be in attendance to present and receive awards with or on behalf of their parents who have paved the way for them to succeed in their chosen fields.

Live performances by the Queens of Lovers Rock Legends, Carroll Thompson and Janet Kay in addition to poetry by Natural Wright and the amazing orchestral Quartet Dulcis Ensemble. All that and so much more.

Doors open at 17:30

Awards Ceremony Starts 18:00
