Project X is a dance company which celebrates and champions dance and performance from the African Caribbean Diaspora in Scotland. Through workshops, performances, artistic opportunities, discussions, screenings, a symposium and more, Project X platforms these contemporary and traditional dance forms, broadening perceptions and representation.
Co-founded and run by Mele Broomes, Ashanti Harris and Rhea Lewis, Project X is about changing the conversations and perceptions around dance of the African and Caribbean Diaspora in Scotland. Through profiling practitioners and platforming the diverse styles, we celebrate our heritage and broaden the mainstream consciousness. Embedded through all of our programme is education through creative learning. We encourage all those who take part, to be empowered with the historical knowledge and its contemporary impact in every context they move in. Project X is collaboration and we celebrate the cross-pollination of identities, ideas and forms.
