This ArtsFest’ 12 performance is part of the Flintshire Cauldrons and Furnaces project, and consists of school dance residencies that began in January 2012. The six schools taking part are Ysgol Maes Garmon, John Summers High School, Ysgol Maes Hyfryd, Hawarden High School, Castell Alun High School and Connah’s Quay High School.
Some elements of these performances will form part of Flintshire’s Cultural Olympiad event, The Spirits of Dragons, which will be performed at Flint Castle on Saturday 23 June 2012.
Company Chameleon will also be performing on the evening with ‘Before Night Fell’, an exploration of male identity, friendship, camaraderie and bravery. The second in a trilogy of works investigating aspects of masculinity and maleness, Before Night Fell follows Beth Cassani’s award-winning work made with her two sons.
This physically awesome and sensitive piece explores the themes of connection and disconnection, and was hugely successful when it was performed as part of the SWITCH project in December 2011.
