This is the story of #ThePocketFolkOpera premiering @theatrepeckham 12-14 May 2022 Directed by @allysondevenish with @tunjifalana Composed by @Idrisrahman_ and Robin Hopcraft @soothsayersband Written by Melissa Jo Smith #BlackBritishHistory #pockets #historicalpockets #hiddenhistory #harriotlewis #ignatiussancho #juliussoubise #womenshistory #c18thblackhistory
In March 2022 we ran a pocket-making workshop for queer women @ldnlgbtqcentre - it was a brilliant day with over 30 women attending. Half learned simple embroidery stitches while the other half cut their designs into lino.
In October 2021 we ran a pocket-making workshop for foster carers with Montaz Marché who gave a talk on Black British women in textiles. The hum of concentration and creativity was brilliant.
Your help is needed to bring this hand-stitched theatrical creation to life!
One of the most exciting things about the eighteenth-century is the glorious, dramatic, embellished, elaborate costumes. Ribbons and bows, feathers and lace – and don’t get us started on what the ladies wore!
