Hampshire Cultural Trust

African Activities CIC offers the opportunity to engage with a diverse range of Black and African cultures through superb, creative artistic experiences. Our work disrupts preconceptions, creates community, drives excellence and breaks barriers. Rooted in pre-colonial traditions, our workshops include drumming, dance, storytelling, Adinkra, beadwork, and mask-making. Led by culturally grounded artists, we bring living heritage to life across schools, communities and festivals. Based in the New Forest, we are a leading Black-led organisation championing African arts across Hampshire and beyond.

Move Momentum is an award-winning local charity based in Winchester, Hampshire that aims to make dance accessible to everyone. We provide inclusive and affordable dance classes for people who otherwise might not have the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of dance. We focus on providing weekly classes tailored for older adults, people with disabilities (including dedicated classes for wheelchair users), people with long-term health conditions, and young people facing barriers to accessing dance. We also offer online dance education and work across Hampshire to provide inclusive dance classes to SEN schools, care homes and other charities and community groups.

Premier Dance Theatre, currently based in Southampton, works across the South and in London creating dance theatre pieces that are rooted in contemporary dance. With a focus on storytelling collaboration is essential to this work. Our processes draw on a variety of art making practices, inviting artists from across the UK’s vibrant art and performance scene to share their unique stories in creation and performance. We are committed to fostering working environments that are collaborative, experimental, supportive, risk taking & innovative, while providing opportunities to those in the transition between training and professional life.
