A Splash of Culture, June 2000

Stevenage Festival 2000

Stevenage Festival 2000 is a Stevenage Arts Guild Enterprise and has been sponsored by Stevenage Borough Council, Stevenage Community Trust, The Comet and Herald Newspapers, ABB Automations Ltd, Alta Image, John Lewis, Glaxo Wellcome and the Millennium Festival.

Barnwell School and Woolenwick Infants School join forces to show their talents in dance and gymnastics. Nobel School will present a programme of music and dance.

Woolenwick pupils will perform two dance sequences: ‘Govinda’ in which the children have the opportunity to experience another culture through a combination of symbolic movements and ‘Raindance’ in which the children empathise whilst performing their interpretation of a tribal dance  anticipating the coming rains.

Barnwell School present dance pieces, some of which will be accompanied by the school orchestra, performed by students in years 7-10, together with gymnastics pieces involving boys and girls from years 7-11.
