Courage is Theme for Performing Arts Spectacular
Before the Christmas break, more than 400 plus students gave sell-out
audiences a night to remember at the College’s epic Performing Arts
Show, Courage.
Tackling the gritty topics of hope, acceptance and friendship,the
audience was treated to an emotional night of gymnastics,
dance, circus performances, musical theatre and wonderful acting
that accompanied the journey of self-discovery through a year of
international celebrations.
“Courage is the 11th Performing Arts
Show that we’ve staged at Ivybridge
Community College,” said Helen Reddy,
Head of Performing Arts and the show’s
Director.
“It is by far the most complex
and ambitious production.
All 28 acts stand out in their
own right as impressive
performance pieces, but this
year they were all intrinsically
woven together.
It’s a story that most of us
can identify with on some
level and, through the harsh
and comedic scenes, Peter
helped draw the audience’s
attention to some amazing
celebrations, and some even
more amazing performances
by our talented students.”
