Our dance students have had some great opportunities this term. A group from Temora High School-including some interested adults- travelled to Griffith Regional Theatre on 24th August to watch world acclaimed Sydney Dance Company. The company performed 2 works, the first being the highly entertaining and comical ‘Cacti', which featured a live string quartet. In stark contrast to this work, Act 2 featured ‘CounterMove', a highly intense and rigorous dance work which highlighted the athletic and artistic prowess of the dancers in this outstanding dance company. This was a rare opportunity to see SDC in our own ‘backyard' and all agreed it was worth the effort. I encourage you to check out highlights of this production on YouTube! Special thanks to our bus driver Ms Helen Tyack.
On the performance front, Year 9 dance, Year 10 dance and the combined ensemble of Year 11 dance plus selected Year 7 and Year 12 dancers, recently performed at the Wagga Eisteddfod at the Kyeamba Smith Hall, Wagga. All 3 groups performed extremely well, with each receiving a highly commended from the adjudicator. Each performance opportunity is of great benefit to our students and I was very proud of how they performed and conducted themselves on the day.
