Arts Award on Voice

Following on from a week’s Intensive Theatre Workshop at the Sandpit Theatre, St. Albans. A group of enthusiastic young  people ages 7-14 years treated us to the musical, Disney Aladdin JR.

The performance started in an imaginative market stall set in the world of Aladdin. The set was built in two halves using the higher levels to good effect, with onlookers observing the market activity below.

Rambert (a highly successful dance group) brought a series of exciting performance to the Theatre Royal. I went to watch the performance on Wednesday 28th February 2018 at 7.30pm-10pm and was mesmerized.

A show about Phish and Fysics.

I went to the Weston Auditorium, University of Hertfordshire on Monday 4th of March 2019. This is a production showcasing  the Stanborough  School of Dance and their talented young people. 

The evening was an entertaining walk along the yellow brick road  interpreted by dance and music. The scenery was colourful with large bold  backdrops. The clever use of the technical lighting all added  into the  experience bringing the story of 0z to life.

I went to the Weston Auditorium University of Hertfordshire, on Saturday 3rd of May 2014, where I saw the performance called “Dance Springs”. This was a collection of short dance pieces. I will only review two of the pieces. The performances were all created and danced by emerging artists. The intention was to try and bring together Dance, Choreographers and the Digital Media.

The first dance is called “Bridging the Void” by Choreographer and Film Artist Rachel Johnson.

 It’s about mysterious creatures under the sea, fish, crabs, dolphins, seaweed, boats, shipwrecks, mermaids, paddles and lots of underwater creatures coming to life. 

The Red Shoes was performed at the Milton Keynes Theatre in Milton Keynes. It took place on Thursday 16th February 2017 at 19:30. This was the first proper ballet that I had ever been to see so I did find it a bit confusing because there were no words. I managed to pick up the main story line but I would probably have to go back and watch it again to completely understand it.

Less than 24 hours to go till the show, one dress rehearsal behind me and feelings of apprehension still to come!

Catherine is a multi-disciplinary artist with interests ranging from theatre, to music, to crafts and textiles. She completed her Silver Arts Award by focusing on dance and literature - writing a whole novel in a month!

SIX is a show about Henry VIII’s six wives, by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss. The show was held at The Rose theatre in Kingston.

Having started the initial steps of planning the dance choreography for the Habs Dance Company, 3 months into the process, I am now able to explain the first few steps of the journey.

This is a review of I dance I watched.
