Quest
Quest is a major participatory performance project which will see a range of young dancers from across the sub region creating material that they will then perform in the large scale spectacle, The Voyage, in Birmingham, in June 2012, as part of London 2012 Festival.
Over three intensive months 140 dancers will develop performance material, during an inspiring process directed and facilitated by Motionhouse. Groups will include participants from Birmingham Ormiston Academy (BOA), Solihull Youth Dance Company, Stratford College, Nova, Coventry PAS Youth Dance Group, Playbox Theatre plus an Adult Performance Group based at the Motionhouse studio.
A further aspect of the Quest project is the opportunity for four young regionally based professionals to work for 15 weeks alongside the Motionhouse company, delivering the Quest workshop programme and performing in The Voyage.
Working initially in small groups, this enormous cast will come together with world renowned dancers and aerialists, live musicians and a huge amateur choir during May and June 2012 to piece together a performance event to rock the senses… Together they will transform Victoria square in Birmingham and tell an extraordinary story…
