Stage 6 Dance Excursion – Terrain 

On Thursday evening the Year 11 and 12 Dance students had the rare opportunity to view Bangarra’s seminal work Terrain live at Sydney Opera House. The work is a prescribed Core Appreciation work for students studying HSC Dance.

Seeing the work live was an invaluable experience for senior students to witness the work’s depth and complexity in a live setting.

Many thanks to Caroline Marsh for attending with the Year 11 and 12 students.
