Black Victorians GDIF Performance
This powerful and moving 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.
Originally previewed at GDIF 2020, this full production of Black Victorians returned to St George’s Garrison Church on 10 and 11 September.
