Year 8 Switched on to Dance PDF Print E-mail
Written by Mr C. Hensley

On March 4th over 80 Year 8 students attended a performance of contemporary Dance at the Norwich Playhouse. The visit was the second of two productions that formed part of the START project that enables young people to experience the excitement of live performance. This time around it was time for a highly energetic dance production by ACE Music and Dance in their production called “Switch.”

The Year 8 students experienced two distinctive pieces of contemporary dance, one based around electricity and the other based around the impact of war. Along with the excellent dancers, music and video accompanied the performance to make a truly extraordinary event. For many of the students this was the first time they had seen a dance production at the theatre and was something they had looked forward too, particularly after our visit from ACE earlier in the week. Year 8s were treated to a preview of the show from the visiting dancers and company and were even taught a few of the moves.

At the Norwich Playhouse, Cromer students were given pride of place at the front – so we were able to experience the production close up. The dancers were incredibly skilled and several students were amazed that the dancers were able to sustain a performance for so long. As well as the performance, the dancers came and gave an after show discussion which enabled students to question the company about both performances. This was particularly useful as it gave the Year 8s an opportunity to interpret some of the new and interesting things that they had seen. Furthermore, we were able to learn about how dedicated and highly trained the dancers were as well as learning about how complex dance productions are.

All in all, I was very pleased with the visit and I hope that students enjoyed it as much as I did. Not only did the students maintain the excellent reputation for good behaviour outside of school, students encountered something new, challenging and hopefully inspirational. Upon our return to school I was pleased to hear the positive feedback from students, as well as having the opportunity to explore the creative ideas in our drama lessons.
