The internationally acclaimed group will perform contemporary dance pieces, integrating traditions from a number of cultures."It is a wonderful, entertaining and fun night, all would enjoy" says Performing Arts Programme Manager Gaylene Sciascia.

The performances are part of assessments for second and third year students of the Bachelor of Applied Arts (Performing). Second year students design, create and make their own costumes and then choreograph and perform their own work solo. Third year students design, create and make their own costumes out of fresh foliage, then collaboratively choreograph and perform duets.

Fresh from performing at three International Arts Festivals in the UK this year, the students will be applying new found international knowledge to their already spectacular repertoire of performance routines.
