Education
Bookings Team News 
As Winter has fast approached us we've been
reflecting back on the last few months of
progress.
In October alone, our
bookings peaked for the entire year with the onset
of Black History Month. We had the privilege of
working alongside a number of London Boroughs
including Lambeth and Haringey; and a huge number
of schools, prisons and community organisations
which all in all added up to 74 workshops and 96
performances! As a fairly new bookings team, it
certainly kept us on our toes!
We look forward to more
successful bookings for 2010!
