The Natashas Project is an international non-profit contemporary dance company founded in 2013. Its aim is to use dance to inform and equip the public about Human Trafficking in the sex slavery industry.
Our three approaches:
Performance productions – contemporary dance productions which take audiences through a journey of lost innocence, 21st Century slavery and how this injustice still affects every single society throughout the world today.
Educational workshops – using repertoire from the performance productions these workshops aim to inspire safe relationships, awareness of safety, and encourage the youth to work together to create their own creative work to raise awareness on the matter.
Restorative workshops (for survivors of HT) – Tailor made restorative dance workshops. The aim of these workshops are to provide a creative means of support for survivors of trafficking, sexual abuse and domestic violence. Our aim is to assist safe homes in their work to bring hope, self-worth, confidence and trust.
We use dance as an art form to connect at a deeper level to reach out and raise awareness. Through our research we can see when people’s hearts are touched it becomes personal and once that happens they are most likely to get involve and do something to help.
The core of The Natashas Project is based on the heart of Jesus, who ‘has come to seek and save those who are lost’ – Luke 19:10
The Natashas Project is accessible for secondary schools, colleges, universities, churches, community projects, festivals, conferences, mixed bills, installations and more.
Our goal is to reach as many people as possible all across the world.
