Over the past couple of months Ione Barton, Youth & Community Intern, and Sarah Lyon, Youth & Community Dance Manager, travelled to Scunthorpe, Barnsley and Hull in search of new and exciting work for FRESH 2019.

They attended four sub-regional platforms which acted as smaller scale FRESH performances. The aim of these platforms is to increase the number of groups engaging with FRESH from further afield than West Yorkshire. The platforms proved a huge success, bringing groups together through workshops and social media activities during the day, celebrating each group’s involvement in dance bringing together different styles and ages.

After a sell out show in 2016, we’re delighted to bring FRESH to CAST, Doncaster for the second time and excited to bring such outstanding young dancers to South Yorkshire.
