YouTube VideoJennifer Blackburn (Folkways project co-ordinator), Margaret Greenwood (Every Body Dances co-ordinator) along with Trixie Bold, Vicky Brown and Sophie Taylor were recently part of a dance film under the 23 Feelings in Dance project. The film was edited by Phil Cunningham and is called ‘Courage’. The three minute site specific piece explores the themes of fear and journey, leading to courageous acts. “We feel that knowledge and acceptance of a feat gives us courage”- Jen. The film was shown at the Edinburgh Festival 2010. YouTube VideoOn the 8th of July 2009 Spiral Dance arrived at 10.00am to start a day where we would fill Rochdale Town Centre with dance, laughter and performance. Eleven schools created work and their performances started at 12.45pm. The teachers and the pupils from the schools had worked over ten weeks to choreograph some fantastic original pieces Ashfield Valley Primary School, Caldershaw Primary School, Falinge Park High School, Hollingworth Business and Enterprise College, Lowerplace Primary School, Norden Community Primary School, Oulder Hill Community School, Redwood School, St Edwards Primary School, St Margaret’s Primary School, and Wardle High School. Watched by the Mayor and Mayoress, local Councillors, parents, the general public and staff from local businesses, RMBC and Link4Life, they were impressed by the high standard of choreography in this unique performance opportunity. The highlight of the day was the performance where everyone including the schools and the audience joined together to share in a seven minute wonder. 'it was great, the kids and staff are buzzing'. 250 people shared in an experience which left everyone smiling and laughing. The Spiral Dance over 50's groups from Heywood and Kirkholt also joined in the performance 'we never thought we'd be doing something like this at our age'.
