THE ROAD TO CANDANCE - PT 3

The final performance.

After weeks of rehearsals, refining details, and bringing the concept to life, this was the finished product.

Candance For A Cure remains one of our favourite events each year, bringing schools and performers together from across South Australia to celebrate dance while raising funds for cancer research.

We are incredibly grateful for the creative team behind this work and for the Academy students who committed themselves fully to the process from beginning to end.

THE ROAD TO CANDANCE - PT1

Creating the concept.
Josh is creating a piece unlike anything the Academy has produced before - conceptualising movement, choreographing, building the visual world, and shaping every detail from the ground up.

Take a look into the early stages of the creation process. Our dancers are training harder than ever to bring his vision to life.

In the next episode, go behind the scenes of the final rehearsals, watch the routine come together, and get a glimpse into what training at the Academy really looks like.
