about
HOME was a large-scale, co-created, promenade performance and project. Taking place in Albert Park, this site-specific work used interdisciplinary art forms to explore ideas, stories and notions of home. The production featured a professional ensemble of dancers alongside a community cast of residents from Middlesbrough and voice recordings from Middlesbrough residents. The work told their stories of home, exploring memories and traditions from their homeland and expressing what makes Middlesbrough a place of pride and hope.
