Building on the success of 2015’s sell-out Melanin Box Festival, Initiative.dkf created Melanin Stages – a further artistic development opportunity for Melanin Box Festival Pandora Award Winners.

A three-day showcase of theatre, dance, music and short film. The first of its kind in London, UK. With so many subcultures within the British experience, Mɛlənɪn Box Festival hopes to bridge the gap, break down stereotypes, and bring the experiences and subcultures of British Black and BAME theatre makers to light. This monumental event was bursting with new works by creatives such as Regé-Jean Page, Sean Graham, Kyla Frye, Talawa, Smashscreen Films and more! We aim for this to be a repeat event, which will provide an ample source of fresh, and untapped talent. Get in contact to help support! Curated by @DKFash, developed by Initiative.dkf - @Wofai.je and @TristanFAiduenu || Co-Produced by: @Chargedupentz in alliance with RENN EVENTS and supported by The TriForce Network, World Changer Music and House Of Alt.

Scalped is an outdoor dance theatre exhibition piece focusing on black women’s hair in professional spaces and western society. In a world of consistent judgement and literal poking and prodding, we play on the idea that life is a fashion show. The piece partly pays homage to Grace Jones *whose boundary breaking career parallels the piece.* The overriding message of self-acceptance within “attachments or no attachments”. In a world where the corporate meets the fantastic, break free from expectations and boundaries..
