Ruins explores the balance between conflict, vulnerability and co-dependency, using dance and film to address the myth of masculinity as it is felt within the Pan-African diaspora. The work creates a space for the black male figure to be more visible and honestly represented in its full complexity, giving powerful testimony to the generational trauma inherited by men from marginalised groups.
FUBUNATION is a London-based dance company founded in 2017 by Rhys Dennis and Waddah Sinada with the aim to increase visibility for artists of colour in contemporary dance.
Ricky Rose, Donnie Sunshine and Sannchia Gaston as 3000CeanHill, showcase the alternative Black British experience through film, photography and music.
