The Dance Department took their end of year show to the Crescent Theatre, Birmingham. This was the first time the department has used this theatre, and it was an excellent experience for the students and staff. 

'Exhibition' was a dance show inspired by famous art works and artists. All students danced in Contemporary, Jazz, Ballet and Commercial pieces. They also collaborated on a group 'community art' piece.

The range of dance styles, music and costumes made for an excellent performance that brought the paintings to life - such as Van Gogh's 'Starry Night' and JMW Turners 'A Stormy Sea' and Edvard Munch 'The Scream' to name a few.

This performance demonstrated excellence from the dance department staff - from slick choreography and creative ideas, to the outstanding sheer talent within the cohort of students, especially their ability to adapt from style to style throughout the performance and to execute the movement with such energy and precision. The students really are an absolute credit to the department and school.

This performance was also an excellent opportunity for the dance course to collaborate with BOA Stage and Screen's Broadcast students who were invited to film the performance on a 4-camera set up and create and live edit of the show. We will share this performance with dance students in September. 

We are so excited for next year where we can share our Year 13 Show with you.
