2023 was a huge success. With 3 generous
sponsors, we were able to cover our costs to
the penny! The tour had several 5* reviews,
won the award for_Best Newcomer_at Brighton
Fringe Festival, and was a finalist for an Offie
Award.
Dance students in Kenya benefitted from
donations towards their training so that better
teachers can be provided for them and the
opportunity to develop dance technique and
creative skills as well as social support through
the program at Art of Music Foundation
Kenya/Ghetto Classics Kenya.
Rachael was able to make a music video with
her girls with the money we raised and sent.
This music video raised awareness of the
treatment of girls in their community.
‘Unlocked’ at Whitton Baptist Church was also a
huge success with outstanding feedback from
the audience. The team worked extremely well
together and benefitted from being part of the
team. The audience were once again touched
by the production and benefitted from the
excuse to be brought together.||
