Luca Silvestrini will lead a workshop titled ‘Dance on Location’ at HOST 2022, a day of events for dancers aged over 55.

HOST is presented by Protein’s friends at @danceeast & @encoreeastdance and celebrates dance and age. It brings together older dancers, along with artists, practitioners, and choreographers, to dance and talk in a programme of workshops, presentations, discussions, and performances.

Join Luca to explore and understand implications and opportunities when creating and performing dance outside the conventional theatre frame. There’ll be space for making and reflection, supported by Luca’s long-term experience with older dancers and site-responsive work.

Book tickets now!

Calling all film buffs! 📽 Protein is thrilled

Calling all film buffs! 📽

Protein is thrilled to announce that This is Us will be presented as part of DAN.CIN.FEST, an online film festival based in France. We are incredibly proud of the young people from Newham who created and performed in the film alongside Protein artists.

Dan.Cin.Lab (@citerne.live) selected 29 films from 300 applications received for this 10th edition of the festival, including 13 fiction films, 9 creative documentaries and 7 animations.

Discover all the films online for €6 from 26 March via link in bio!

Please vote for Protein's This is Us in the Audience Award! The prize is a residency for the production of a future dance film.

This is Us was created in 2021 as part of our inclusion programme, Real Life Real Dance, working with young people attending an alternative provision school. The film is influenced by Protein's Border Tales, exploring themes of multiculturalism and identity.

The project was commissioned by @yourroyaldocks London. We would also like to give enormous thanks to filmmaker @alice_underwood_films, composer Andy Pink, support staff at New Directions PRU and Silver Building.
