Congratulations to all!

HUGE Congratulations to our Sixth Form dance students, at The Wyvern School for being the first cohort to achieve Bronze Arts Award. These photos are from our sharing event where work experience student Shane, delivered a presentation which included a phrase from his rehearsals with ConfiCo and leading a warm up. After which we handed out certificates to the students for their achievements.

“We are delighted to have supported this journey by; providing high quality accessible representative dance performance, facilitating the student Skills sharing component with our choreography choosing boards, and by ConfiCo artists being representative, aspirational dance artists for students to research. Big up to Jess Hyder and her team, and the students who developed a rich inclusive reflective practice to wrap around the confidance sessions, and review our work. Partnership at its best” - Jo Frater, Artistic Director of Confidance
