Contemporary dance in Nepal by victims of girl trafficking

In my post of 26th August 2007 I mentioned the amazing contribution that had been made by British volunteers Sue Way (dance choreographer) and Nic Discombe (director and playwright) both of Northcott Theatre Group, Exeter. Their visit to Nepal led to the staging of a show for children from other orphanages. At long last I have managed to convert the footage that was shot of the performance into YouTube material. This is the piece of contemporary dance entitled "Capture and Release" that Sue produced with the girls.

Dance is a powerful therapy in its own right but doubly so when it allows the girls to address directly the trauma they experienced.

More uploads from that show are to follow...
