#RockTheLockdown
Day 5 - Thursday 21st May
Composers and Choreographers
Composers and Choreographers is a week long, student led, intensive course. It is an opportunity for Dancers and Musicians to join forces and feed off one another’s creativity, despite the lockdown! Musicians were given a week to compose a piece of Music to which dancers choreographed dances in a spectacular fusion of the two arts forms. The themes this year were communication, home, simplicity and community; celebrating Chorlton’s ability to pull together through the power of the arts.
