The day started with enthusiasm, with all students arriving in costume. (One colour
allocated to each group). By mid-day there was disarray, with fall-out among stu-
dents, and even some of the artists, over the final presentations. The moment had
come when ideas had to be finally shaken out and turned from a series of connected
ideas into a coherent performance. Some students argued, and some did nothing,
until the pressure was really on. Finally through the guidance of dancers artists and
tutors, they coc-operated, and put together an abundance of work that they had
been preparing over the last 9 days.
