The Marriage of Shakespeare and Flamenco Song and Dance Summer Term 2025 course builds on the successful spring term pilot course run in January and February 2025. Course tutors Danielle Allan and Fenella Juanita Barker, supported by musical accompanist Juan Giraldo, will guide you through this unique course, combining the study of the skills of Shakespearean acting, flamenco singing and flamenco dance towards a performance showing at the college's end of year performance event Dance Fusion on the evening of Friday, July 4th. Important: please contact either tutor Danielle Allan (Danielle.Allan@morleycollege.ac.uk) or tutor Fenella Barker (fenella.barker@morleycollege.ac.uk) to arrange a brief pre-course meeting (phone call or online) for an initial assessment of your previous experience (if any) and consideration of which aspect/s of the course you would most like to explore..
