Challenge 59

Challenge 59, a project with Arcane Dance Company, aims to raise awareness and spark the initiative of young people with regards to their health and lifestyle.

Groups were challenged to submit a dance idea and storyboard relating to one of four health aims: Healthy Eating, Physical Activity, Emotional Health and Well Being and Personal, Social and Health Education. A working panel selected the three groups whose prize is to spend two days in residence with Joanna Rhodes, professional choreographer, Lisa May Thomas, professional film artist and director and Razaka Firmager, camera operator and editor. The project has culminated in the production of three 59second films and a short project documentary.
