Chrome 2024, is made up of two contemporary dance works created by QACI students in collaboration with QACI’s Dance Teacher, Liz Collyer. Throughout this term, the students worked with Mrs Collyer on exploring movement and creating movement. They took ownership to establish their own working processes and styles within movement. The outcome is dance works of contemporary and postmodern genres and work that incorporates each student’s individual compositions. We are excited to share Chrome 2024 with you all and we are sure you will agree, we have some wonderful emerging young performers and choreographers in our midst.
