we're off to see the wizard
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.

Dance Springs
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.

Can Museums Dance?
In 2018 The Bowes Centre ran an open call to select 10 artists from the N.E. as artists-in-residence responding to The Bowes Museum for the first time. They became the #untitled10 with a successful exhibition presenting diverse ideas inspired by the museum through photography, textiles, music, photography, furniture and jewellery design, neon light and dance. Dance has become one of the most transformative experiences at the museum. In this Q&A, Paula the Director of Talkin' Culture explores how and why.
