I'm in awe of the amazing talent of the students and their ability to express through movement the profound and important meaning of the poetry - it is, indeed, poetry in motion. Congratulations to all, a beautiful presentation. Now I'm going to dry my eyes!

This piece has used the wonderful power of music and dance to convey positive messages we could all do with being reminded about.
Expressed confidently and beautifully. Many thanks to Imogen, Abi and all the students for a very moving film. 🙏
