speaks the wedding band
Deborah Ayorinde has the type of energy that can only be described as magnetic, she leans in with curiosity and sincerity and we were fortunate enough to sit down with her to discuss her craft, honouring Alice Childress and the themes of the play.
The UK premiere of the Wedding Band by Alice Childress was staged at the Lyric Hammersmith from 31 May — 29 June.

speaks ballet black
Cassa Pancho speaks with wisdom, kindness and quiet command as she explains how her discovery that there were no women of colour performing in any of the UK’s ballet companies prompted her to launch Ballet Black in 2001. Twenty two years and more than 70 tours later, Ballet Black is now a full time company with 10 resident dancers.
