From heartache to hope, from struggle to progress...

Take a journey through time with this moving celebration of Black History, brought to life with an artful blend of contemporary dance, cultural music and historic narratives. A riveting story for all ages, Colours of Courage begins in 17^th-century Africa and seamlessly moves through the centuries, exploring the emotional impact of the slave era, the pivotal achievements of The Civil Rights Movement and the momentous place we stand today.
