Featuring work from across the artistic spectrum, these shows celebrate the creative diversity that is bred from a year's hard work at Surrey.
The dance students present performances in styles from Contemporary to Ballet, African, Kathak and Hip Hop, whilst theatre, music and film students offer a delightful array of short piece for your enjoyment.
The show will also include a reconstruction piece by Dr Jean Johnson-Jones of Negro Spirituals, a suite of eight dances created by the American dancer/choreographer Helen Tamaris. One of Tamaris' best known works, these 'protest' dances are being revived as part of an ongoing research project by Dr Johnson-Jones at the University of Surrey.
With this fascinating variety of pieces, we are always excited to showcase emerging talented artists who are studying here at Surrey.
"From studying at Surrey, I have enjoyed gaining knowledge on various theoretical frameworks, and allowing these to inform how I perform each technique and create pieces of choreography. The final year shows are a fantastic opportunity for us all to come together and showcase out development as dance artists throught the degree." - Jessica Richards, final year dance student
