About us

Two Destination Language makes bold, ambitious, award-winning work about identity and community. We employ innovative artistic forms to cross cultural, social, economic and geographic barriers, celebrating difference and placing the lives of those we work with at the heart of everything we do. Rooted in dialogue and collaboration, we believe in the transformative power of art to change how we see ourselves and the society we share. Our work brings people together in new, unexpected ways, creating shared spaces for reflection and mutual understanding.

Led by Katherina Radeva and Alister Lownie, Two Destination Language's work forms three strands of work - theatre work for stage, community co-creation projects and peer to peer curation and knowledge exchange projects.

Two Destination Language is migrant and disabled led  registered charity committed to promoting the arts as a vital part of societal wellbeing, challenging populist ideas, reaching audience members from under-represented groups and supporting artists in every way we can.

BOTTOMS

BOTTOMS is about art, value and labour. Conjuring a joyous freedom, Bottoms’ five dancers seek refuge from the present-day world in fragments of a wild dance forged in the Industrial Revolution. The can-can. With crisps. And cava. 

A new work commissioned for DIG from the award-winning Two Destination Language’s Alister Lownie and Katherina Radeva, working with a team of collaborators from across the UK.
