FAR FROM HOME

About the show

A hard hitting, atmospheric, abstract work exploring immigration and humanity. Alleyne Dance presents Far From Home, a narrative dance production that explores immigration and the consequences the search for “a better life” has for those forced to seek it due to social or political devastations. Six dance artists bring Alleyne Dance’s dynamic, powerhouse style to the stage. The ensemble highlights the emotional and mental stresses of migrant families, as well as the impact on communities where migrants “settle”, as we unpick the meaning of tolerance and practice of integration. Multi-award-winning Alleyne Dance is a unique and powerful company that blends caribbean, hip hop and kathak, within a contemporary dance context. In 2025, Sadler’s Wells appointed founding sisters Kristina and Sadé Alleyne as Guest Artistic Directors for National Youth Dance Company 2025/2026 season.
