The Creative Academy is delighted to invite you to an unforgettable evening of dance, celebrating two exciting new works funded by Arts Council England as part of Slough's Cultural Revival.
This special sharing brings together two distinct yet equally powerful performances:
Act One – GRITT (Gesture Rooted in Today's Truth)
Funded by Arts Council, Creative Academy & Slough Cultural Revival.
Created by Georgia Rose Thompson in collaboration with Steffi Fashokun, this duet explores the fading sense of unity in modern society, replacing community with individualism and competition. Drawing on the physicality of competitive wrestling, the piece delves into identity formation as two dual heritage women navigate the complex world they inhabit.
Act Two – JOSEPHINE
Funded by Arts Council, Creative Academy, Slough Borough Council & UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
The inaugural work in a research and development project inspired by the life of the legendary Josephine Baker — entertainer, activist, humanitarian, and cultural icon. Choreographed by Chelsie Innes and directed by George Kirkham, this work celebrates Baker's extraordinary life, from her Parisian stage triumphs to her courageous civil rights work and espionage during World War II. This performance marks the first step toward a full-length touring production planned for Autumn 2026.
This evening promises to be a celebration of creativity, heritage, and the transformative power of dance. We would be honoured by your presence to witness these works at their very beginning and join us in supporting Slough's artistic growth.
