Dance students visit Opera House

Senior dance students at Brisbane Water Secondary College saw the Sydney Dance Company's latest production Shades of Gray at the Opera House recently.

The students saw the Sydney Dance Company in a rehearsal, met the dancers and heard them answer questions from the audience about their lifestyle, qualifications and diet.

Senior campus principal Mr David Beattie met choreographer Graeme Murphy.

Later that night, the group went to see the performance of Shades of Gray.

Mr Beattie said "the dancing was spectacular", but the storyline was "a bit difficult to follow".

"One of the lead dancers was on stage for just about all of the performance, demonstrating not only great skill, but also great stamina.

"The Opera House is a great venue and students learnt a lot more about dance, stage productions, costumes and lighting," he said.
