We’ve been delighted to have a sold-out run of These Are Our Neighbours in our Studio Theatre this week. 💪 Created by Katharine Williams in collaboration with the community of Pollokshields, this powerful piece of documentary and celebratory dance theatre revisits the events on Kenmure Street in 2021.

Through testimony, movement, music and light, it told a story of community, solidarity and everyday courage!
