The performance will be spread over a six week course incorporating different variations of dance and choreography, with an opportunity to gain further insight about women’s experiences in the war.
To find out how to get involved with the project which begins on Friday (April 10) and costs £40 or to book a place on the course call Emma Bangham on 01386 561906.
TEEN AUTHOR James Dawson has been voted the winner of the Worcestershire Teen Book Awards by young Evesham and Pershore readers.
For the last four months pupils aged 11 to 14 from Evesham and Pershore have been encouraged to read a shortlist of six books and vote for their favourite.
During the event James read excerpts from his teen thrillers and answered questions before signing hundreds of books for the Wychavon pupils.
Fourteen schools then battled it out in an interschool quiz all about the shortlisted books which was won by Pershore High School, who each took away medals and books for the school.
James Dawson said: “Winning awards voted for by young adult readers is always the best, they are who I write for and it’s wonderful to know my books are being enjoyed.
“It was really good to visit Worcestershire and get to meet so many keen readers, which they clearly are.”
