The first sharing of the Journey! Thanks so much to @101OutdoorArts for hosting us. It's the perfect space to create...
We paraded around 101 for the sharing of The Journey by @perhapscontrap with dancing, singing and visual vernacular (including poetry, mime and signing!) ☀️ The audience loved it & it was great to hear everyone’s feedback at the end 🙌 #101Sharing
