Cohort 06’s graduation performance marked the end of twelve week long journey for all of the young people, most of whom had not danced before joining this programme.
During the evening we saw the young people perform three pieces of dance: Cast, a piece learnt by the company in just one week, Another Time, Another Place which was a piece choreographed by the dancers themselves and finally Me, Them, Us which was first performed at The Theatre Royal Winchester in October 2013.
Our performance company, Wessex Girls:Wessex Boys, also performed a piece entitled Routed during the evening.
