Major new Black British Ballet exhibition tour coming soon

Written By Black British Ballet

The untold stories of Britain’s Black ballet dancers will be put centre stage for the first time in a new touring exhibition.

Funded by a £245,500 grant from The National Lottery Heritage Fund, Into the Light: Pioneers of Black British Ballet will bring together archive photography, film, newspaper articles and posters alongside new video and audio interviews to trace the history of Black British ballet from the 1940s to the present day.

A unique partnership between Oxygen Arts and Libraries Connected, the membership body for public libraries, will see the exhibition tour 25 libraries, starting in Stockport and Redbridge this October and continuing until November 2025.

The programme will also include the final tour of our Windrush themed ballet, Island Movements, in October.
