Presented by Dragonfly Dance
17 September 2022, Brighton Performing Arts Centre, during Student Showcase 2022
_______________
In 2022, we showcased the work of a new generation of emerging choreographers and dancers. Presented as part of the Dragonfly Dance Student Showcase in 2022, Illuminate 2022 feature the work of six new choreographers, and a new short work by Artistic Director Jo McDonald. While it wasn’t called Illuminate at the time, it followed the same model as our previous Illuminate performances, and so have been given that title as a stand alone video performance.
