Luca Silvestrini’s Protein is one of the most distinctive voices in British dance theatre. Artistic Director and founder Luca Silvestrini has been using a blend of original choreography, text, humour and music to entertain and provoke audiences since 1998. Resident in Greenwich since 2012, they are committed to serving their local community by offering world-class dance experiences to all.

Protein’s shows connect theatrical experiences with the everyday and real-life stories that engage audiences and participants in both on and off-stage productions.

They believe in bringing the audience closer, inviting them to connect with what’s happening on stage, whether through subject matter, location or the way performers directly address the audience bridging the divide between watching and participating. Their shows are devised by Luca with professional performers and artists or with a mix of professionals and participants. The success and impact of Protein’s performance and participation programme has grown nationally and internationally over the last two decades and in 2016, Protein was again nominated for the best independent Company at the National Dance Awards after winning the accolade in 2011.
