FOR THE FALLEN

This large-scale dance piece was choreographed by our regular class teachers Helen Parlor, Effie McGuire-Ward and Chris Bradley, it involved over 100 dancers and moved around Campbell Park. Inspired by stories from the Great War and addressing themes of conflict, it was a beautiful act of commemoration.

RESPONSE: MÓTUS 2015

MÓTUS is a celebration of all forms of dance across the city of Milton Keynes and also celebrates links with national companies.  RESPONSE was the theme of the 2015 festival. All of the works were sited in and around MK Gallery and Campbell Park. In the photo is Katy a regular class member.
