For some, this is their first choreographic effort; while some have choreographed works for several years before they set off for tertiary dance studies. And there are a couple who have left Canberra to study dance, and this is an opportunity for them to develop ideas they have worked on in their dance courses, and present them, to the home crowd. See a work in progress here -- James Batchelor and Emma Batchelors piece in rehearsal. If last year is anything to go by, we can expect an evening of short works of surprising depth and quality, performed with commitment and passion. The works will be shown in a performance season over the weekend Saturday and Sunday 8-9 December -- with two different one-hour shows each night. Hot to Trot is a favourite with Canberra audiences and in recent years has played to sell out crowds. Bring your family and make a night of it!
