A BROMSGROVE arts venue has continued its link with a dance company with a recent appointment.

Fiona Hay has been appointed as the new Dance Engagement Worker for the Artrix Centre, in School Drive.

The post is the result of an ongoing partnership between Artrix and Dancefest, which means there is a clear focus for developing dance opportunities for children, young people and families who live in and around North Worcestershire.

Fiona has been a dance worker for the last seven years and has worked alongside organisations such as 2Faced Dance and Dancefest.

She has already arranged exciting activities for young people including with 2Faced Dance bringing their show Dreaming in Code to Artrix on November 20.

Youngsters from South Bromsgrove High School will be joining a two day residency to prepare a curtain raiser performance before the main show.

Heart of Worcestershire College performing arts students will also take part in a day’s workshop led by professional dancers from the company.

Fiona said: "Our aim is to provide exciting contemporary dance opportunities for both schools and the community groups in North Worcestershire which will engage children and young people in watching and taking part in dance activities in Artrix Arts Centre and across the area."
