Join us on the De La Warr Pavilion terrace, 29 September 2024 for Journeys Festival of Dance featuring, 'Black Victorians' by Artistic Director and Choreographer Jeanefer Jean-Charles.
'Black Victorians' is inspired by nineteenth century studio photographs of black men, women and children - 'Black Chronicles II', curated by Renée Mussai at the Autograph Gallery in London.
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. Picture dancers dressed in restrictive Victorian costumes, shedding them in rebellion as they dance in African, contemporary and hip-hop styles re-imagining a moment in history. Their movement will invoke their origins in powerful ways, bringing voice and body to the portraits that inspired us. Either presented in evocative Victorian architecture, within a museum or other outdoor sites, this is an opportunity to experience history as told through choreography.
