Celebrating artists for Black History Month

To mark the UK’s Black History Month, the British Council are sharing some of the contemporary British artists and creatives that excite and inspire us, and who make change happen.

Vicki Igbokwe

Vicki Igbokwe formed her contemporary dance theatre company Uchenna Dance after a life-changing trip to New York where she fell for the underground dance scene that introduced her to House, Waacking and Vogue. As her company has grown, she has continually developed the potential of younger professionals, for instance at the East London Dance programmes she facilitates that support the next generation of dance leaders.
