Far From Home

Far From Home brings to the stage the humanity of told and untold stories by voices not always heard.

Bringing Alleyne Dance’s dynamic, powerhouse style to the stage, Far From Home (FFH) is a hard-hitting, atmospheric, abstract narrative dance production exploring the topic of immigration. Performed by six dance artists and a supporting cast of non-professional movers recruited from the local community, the performance ensemble highlights the emotional and mental stresses of migrant families, as well as unpicking the meaning of tolerance and practice of integration and the impact on the communities where migrants 'settle'.
