Jacqui Ibbotson embarks on a new role as Programme Director of Culture in Common, the Arts Council's Creative People and Places programme for the New Forest.

Culture in Common was one of 11 brand new projects announced by Arts Council England in December 2021, securing £1 million. The investment covers the first three years of a 10-year vision to bring the disparate communities of the district together to enjoy Culture in Common. Cultureincommon.co.uk

Euton Daley steps down as a Director of Oxford Arts Consultants to pursue his writing and performances together with his tireless work with the #Black Lives Matter campaign. Jacqui, Angeli, Myfanwy and Ruth wish him the very best of luck with his plans to tour:

"We become silent about the things that matter"
Martin Luther King Jr.

A trilogy of work fusing dance, theatre and performance poetry, Ending the Silence is very much influenced by the Black diaspora experience and the struggle for justice and equality. It encompasses the contemporary world as well as learning from the past and looking towards the future. The pieces can be performed separately or all together.

Following the sell-out success and great responses from audiences to the stage production of #Ending the Silence in 2018, Euton is exploring options of touring this "ground-breaking work" - watch this space. http://www.eutondaley.com/
