In Our Hands is a ten week programme of workshops facilitated by Lisa Fannen, Omikemi and Clay. The sessions explore radical approaches to health and collective care in the context of movement for liberation and social justice.

Underground movement legend boychild hosts this workshop—on improvisation, cosmetics, movement and lip-sync.
