Each year, Y6 stage an ambitious end of year production which combines a dramatic script with dance. This year’s work is titled StreetDust – a story about street children. All of Y6 are fully involved at all levels :

We have written the script, created the dances, scenery and props.

We will be designing a lighting plan and will operate the lights and all aspects of audio visual effects.

We based the play on a book called 'The Garbage King' by Elizabeth Laird. The production is now fully underway and we invite you to our performances.

All about the dances in StreetDust

To open the performance
Gang dance : 3 Cool Cats
3 boys ( the cool cats) and 3 girls (the cool chicks).
Danny Lucas Izzy Mills
Freddie Phillips Chloe Murphy
Reuben Madgwick Jess Adams
The boys are hanging around on the street when they see the girls walking their way. Each group is out to impress the other.

End of Scene 6
Gang dance : Muy Fifi
Livi Higgins Sarah Burbury
Keah Garford Freddie Phillips
Elly-Mae Turvey Reuben Madgwick
Naomi Groome Eddie Lewis
Jodie Waters Jack Hillebrandt
Hattie Ward Matt Butcher

The rich kids are on the streets and are learning that life is tough. This dance shows a gang at work searching the dump and perhaps captures a feeling of one against one in a struggle to survive on the street.

End of scene 13
La Familia Gang dance Los Chucos Suaves
Sam Jenkins Emily Ellis
Cam Smith Megan Taylor
Samuel De Jager Mark Davies
Amy Harrison

This dance captures the spirit of gang culture: a sense of fun, friendly rivalry and togetherness.

End of scene 14
Gang dance Chinito, Chinito
Ella Beard Elly-Mae Turvey
Megan Taylor Jess Adams
Amy Harrison Chloe Murphy
Emily Ellis Cam Smith
Izzy Mills

The girls from La Familia gang – Sancha, Sofia and Angelita have just taken the runaway rich kid – Isabella – in hand. Giving her the look and street cred. The song is all about going out on the town, looking good and feeling great.

Midway in scene 17
Police dance : Immigrant Punk
James Wills Eddie Lewis
Matt Butcher Danny Lucas
Ryan Goble Reuben Madgwick
Jack Hillebrandt Ed Smith
This dance introduces the police. They are tough, aggressive and violent. Armed with their riot sticks and dressed in riot gear, these are scary people.

End of scene 21
Wedding dance : Bernadette
Ed Smith Chloe Nunan

Gemma Nienaltowski Lucy Godley
Samantha Playford Kirsty Butler
Tessa Wildsmith Beth Gedge
Demi Miller Abby Nobes

The song is upbeat and happy and the lyrics describe the love Salmenio has for Bernadette.
