And Still I Rise

Midlands Tour

And Still I Rise Midlands Tour!

During Black History Month, we worked with 10 incredible black creatives to create powerful new work that celebrates the strength, spirit and vibrancy of Black culture.

These pieces were showcased around 4 different cities across the Midlands, as part of our And Still I Rise project.

Every show was spectacular with incredible performances in poetry, singing, dance, spoken word and rap.
