North East Natters: Paul Gordon Emerson on the Two Washingtons and Cultural Diplomacy – North by North-East

This entry of North East Natters takes us all the way to Washington DC! We're chatting with Paul Gordon Emerson, cultural diplomat and co-founder of Company E, a DC-based contemporary dance company. Through his work in performance and cultural diplomacy, Paul has developed a longstanding connection with Sunderland and the wider North East of England. We explore the links between the two Washingtons (both DC and Tyne and Wear), the region's creativity and resilience, and how the arts can bring people and cultures together. To learn more about Company E and Paul's work, head on over to companye.org
