I’ve just been back in the rehearsal room for The Reckoning, exploring the different ways we might share the original Ukrainian verbatim text as part of our performance.
Anastasiia and I read so many extraordinary testimonies over the course of our research. Whilst our play focuses on one interview between a survivor and journalist that we read whilst immersed in The Reckoning Project, we were moved and inspired by many others.
“I’m just back from a magical few days in the forests of Estonia as part of a little audio adventure and summer residency.”
As a 21-year-old college student majoring in Media, Television, and Production with a minor in Art Management at Indiana University, my internship at Dash Arts in London was a dream come true…
Join us in the rehearsal room as we craft a new epic - an origin story that celebrates and redefines the migration experience.

How can the arts help us to encounter others?
In December 2024, we were part of a fantastic live discussion at the RSA (Royal Society for Arts, Manufactures and Commerce) discussing how the arts can unlock unheard voices. This podcast brings you some highlights from the event with some extra insights and updates from our Dash Arts Artistic Director Josephine Burton.
In the fourth episode on the journey towards our production, The Reckoning, Dash’s Artistic Director, Josephine Burton is in conversation with Author and Playwright Gillian Slovo discussing the power of theatre and the responsibilities involved in bringing real people’s stories to the stage.
Become a patron by joining Dash Lights. Your support will help to create work that bridges the divide across art forms, cultures and communities.
It didn’t happen overnight, but looking back, I can see how Dash Arts’ work has become more and more entwined with academia. What started as the occasional conversation with a scholar has grown into deep, collaborative partnerships that have opened up new dimensions in my own practice as a theatremaker, shaping how I approach storytelling, character, and world-building. These partnerships have helped us push the boundaries of our work, making it more informed, resonant, and collaborative.
