Join us at The Showroom for Embody - a day of poetry, spoken word and dance in response to Harold Offeh’s exhibition, TRUSTFUL STRANGERS INDUCE FEARLESS ALIENS.

In this first workshop learn about the importance of the UK Ballroom Scene in cultivating community and providing a space for uninhibited self-expression, with a focus on the role of the MC by way of poetry and spoken word with Ellis George and Ella Osho.
