Residency/commission from East Street Arts at Union 105, with additional funding from Leeds Inspired. In collaborating with dancer Akeim Toussaint Buck.

Chapeltown – a place with endless stories and intrigue. We held workshops at a black elders’ society and local primary schools to hear the histories of the elderly and build new futures with children. Through an innovative guided walk we invite the audience to experience this unique place from different perspectives. Exploring themes of home, migration, regeneration and resilience, the guided walk combined movement and dance, visual art, poetry, and games for the audience to get involved in.

Successive immigrant communities have shaped the unique culture and heritage of Chapeltown. ‘What didn’t you do to bury me? But you forgot I was a seed’ revealed and united cross-generational experience to create a legacy with the community of Chapeltown. East Street Arts stated that they were better embedded in the local community as a result of our work.
