To honour and preserve UK African Caribbean stories through immersive theatre, music, community dialogue, fostering heritage awareness.
We are a small, dedicated creative team committed to preserving the authentic stories of the UK African Caribbean community. For the past two years, we’ve been developing “Dorothee in the 20th Century: Saturday Soup”—a live theatre–photo–music production that honours the Windrush generation and their descendants. Our vision is simple but urgent: to safeguard these memories before they disappear, and to make Black British history accessible, engaging and rooted in real community voice.
Our team brings together storytellers, archivists, musicians, cultural researchers and community organisers. We blend archive photography, film, live performance, and era-defining Black British music—from Calypso to Jungle—to immerse audiences in the lived experiences of African Caribbean communities from the 1950s to the 1990s. At the heart of the show is the symbolism of Saturday Soup: community, survival, joy, news, struggle, humour and family.
We perform in accessible community spaces like Wimbledon Library to reach wider and more diverse audiences, while paying tribute to Caribbean literary and cultural heritage.
Your support will help us:
Finalise and stage the full “Saturday Soup” production
Record and archive Windrush stories before they are lost
Deliver pre- and post-show community soup events for intergenerational dialogue
Build our next LP (Live Photo Album) production for Black History Month, October 26th
Expand access to African Caribbean reading, film and music resources
Continue developing a model that strengthens wellbeing, empathy and shared cultural understanding
By funding this work, you help ensure that African Caribbean histories are not erased but celebrated, recorded and passed on—vibrant, truthful and alive for the next generation.
