Over three years ago, a seed was planted when Dance United Yorkshire's Artistic Director Helen Linsell came to us with an invitation to collaborate. On Saturday night, that vision, Memories of the Future, came to life as 70 participants from six community groups across Bradford took to the stage, sharing their lived experiences and the result of a year-long commitment to a taster of AKC’s creative process.

The one-off performance was the result of a deeply generous collective effort supported by a remarkable team, from pastoral staff to artistic collaborators - including Ryan Dawson Laight and his incredible team who created over 120 bespoke costume pieces so that each participant felt seen, valued and celebrated.

Thank you Dance United Yorkshire for opening our eyes to new possibilities.

After months of preparation, 70 participants - many taking the stage for the very first time - will perform in front of an audience of over 1000 loved ones to share a moment they will never forget.

A huge thank you to everyone who came out to see us in Gdańsk and Riga.
Next, we are super excited to be returning to Estonia after nearly 25 years, where Akram once performed Loose in Flight. We bring Chotto Desh to Tallinn for two performances before the show takes a short break until April.
