During the summer of 2021, we were lucky enough to create a performance in collaboration with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Mahogany Carnival Arts and Wembley Park. Over two weeks, our young people developed original choreography and spoken word, then performed it to over a thousand audience members.

“A dream could come from anything. Something you see or hear, read – Anything

In my dream I’m in the middle of the ocean, sailing, watching the sun set.

In my dream the ice cream never melts!

In my dream I’m surrounded by friends and family.

In my dream I’m brave,

You get to be who you want to be.”
