‘Funk’ continues to generate tremendous excitement and has been a f irm favourite on the annual school production calendar now for 24 years! Th is year we go back to a live programme and bring the production home to The Theatre at St Anne’s.

Funk evolved as an idea to create a dance prog ramme for schools with very specific aims. Firstly to unite schools in work ing towards a common goal; secondly to give Drama students and their teache rs the opportunity to create and rehearse pieces of dance theatre for publi c performance; thirdly, to enable young people to see that movement, dance and dance theatre is accessible to them and not only in the hands of profes sional adult dance companies; and finally, and perhaps most importantly of all, to generate meaning and artistic integrity through dance choreography whilst challenging young people to work outside of their comfort zones.

The task for each school remains constant: to create a 7 minute piece of dance choreography integrating any type of musical or textual accompanimen t. The programme accommodates a range of choreographic and performance poss ibilities and provides the perfect opportunity for schools to experiment wi th new forms. It is also important to emphasise that this platform is not a competition, and should not be seen in the same light as a sports festival or inter-house competition. The highlight of the production is always the mass group Finale which incorporates all the schools together on the stage.

Funk 2023 is produced by The Theatre–St Anne’s College, directed by Ms Lynn Chemaly, with technical direction by Mr Marcus Henning and Finale c reation by BoNana Dance.
