What We Do
An example of our work in Drama and Dance

Every year we support a huge range of dance and drama projects around the world. From small street art events and workshops to full-scale touring productions, the Performing Arts Department in the UK works in conjunction with our overseas arts managers to create dance and drama projects that challenge outdated perceptions of the UK and create new collaborations and partnerships.

The following recent and forthcoming project examples provide a snapshot of the work that we do in the field.
