Dash is renowned for producing extraordinary work on a grand scale – it is rare, ambitious, culturally important, international, and, consequently expensive! We have big plans ahead and to help us achieve them we need to raise £150,000 annually from people like you. Every gift at any level will make a difference and your support will ensure that we can continue to be as ambitious and imaginative as we want to be, now and in the future.
Your support enables us to:
§ Develop and present new work that challenges the way we see the world
§ Make possible artistic collaboration across cultural, linguistic and social divides
§ Support the work of artists abroad, especially those in difficult financial or political circumstances.
§ Develop the understanding of artists and audiences in the by bringing them into creative contact with artists from abroad.
§ Nurture young people’s talent so they can become artists in their own right
One of our most exciting new projects is an epic theatrical event to reveal the hidden riches of world-renowned story cycle: One Thousand and One Nights - known in the West as The Arabian Nights. We are on a unique journey to bring these classic Arabic tales to life and we would like you to join us.
Here’s how. . .
The heroic Scheherazade survives execution at the hands of her husband, the King, by telling a new story each night for 1,001 nights. We are looking for 1,001 supporters to help us to continue to tell our stories and become an ongoing part of a growing Dash community. You can join us from as little as £10.01 and receive:
