6 million+ and Balbir Singh Dance Company have been working together for the past three years in Huddersfield on creative arts projects like Unmasking Pain and Wear and Share, that integrate refugees and local people in exciting ways.

6 Million + delivers creative arts projects with an extended family of refugees and local communities. The organisation exchanges and expresses stories of the Holocaust, genocides and contemporary persecution at home and abroad, while challenging discrimination and working towards a kinder future.

Balbir Singh Dance Company (BSDC) was founded by Balbir Singh MBE in 2005, creating a platform to bring Kathak and contemporary dance together. Based in Leeds, BSDC works across the UK and in internationally. Over time, the company’s projects have become far more than just performances: they are spaces of dialogue, transformation and healing.
