2023-24 International Humanitarian Tours

Join us for our upcoming touring opportunities!

A little reminder about what we do…

We’re a cohort of students and young alumni, comprised of musicians and actors from top London conservatoires. We collaboratively devise new music-theatre shows and workshops for children, and perform in hospitals, orphanages, schools, special needs centres, and refugee camps in deprived areas of the world. Since 2012, 90 musicians and actors have joined Wind-Up Penguin tours to Colombia, Brazil, Mexico, Peru, India, Lebanon, Jordan, and around Europe. We’re always opening our projects to new performers, and we hope you can join us this time – or in the future!
