As Black History Month is recognised across the UK As Black History Month is recognised across the UK, we’re taking a moment to reflect on our journey, one deeply rooted in Black British heritage and creativity. 

At Phoenix, Black history isn't something we spotlight once a year, it's woven into our foundation and informs everything we do.

From our early beginnings, to the recent nomination of Inside Giovanni’s Room at this year’s Black British Theatre Awards, we remain committed to ensuring dance is inclusive, accessible and reflective of the diversity that makes Britain great.

Take a look at our journey by visiting our virtual gallery (link in bio).

Two days to go until Susanna premieres here in Lee Two days to go until Susanna premieres here in Leeds!

Our fourth collaboration with @operanorth sees Susanna, the victim of two powerful, predatory men seek out to destroy her reputation. 

The production explores the corrupting influence of power structures and the challenge of creating an inclusive and equitable society.

Age Guidance: 12+
