Sadler’s Wells and Project O regret to announce that the upcoming performances of Voodoo on 23 and 24 May 2019 are cancelled due to injury. 

 

Sadler’s Wells looks forward to bringing this production back to the Lilian Baylis Studio at a future date to be announced.

Artists Jamila Johnson-Small and Alexandrina Hemsley have been making work together as Project O since 2010, intending to expose some of the structural workings of racism and misogyny and their impact on bodies. The company made its debut appearance at the Lilian Baylis Studio with O in BELLYFLOP's Wild Card 2013, and followed with the premiere of Voodoo in spring 2017. 

Project O was awarded the Artsadmin Artist Bursary in 2014, are Associate Artists at Dance Research Studio and residents at Somerset House Studios. The duo became a Sadler’s Wells New Wave Associate Artist in 2018, an initiative supporting distinctive choreographic voices in their development.
