Dance
The performance of 'In the Works' consisted of five different presenters. Two of which were presenters showing off their art and work. After the first two presenters came the dancing, also understandably art, but a slight more moving. The first piece was titled "Farwell" and choreographed by our very own Angela McDonough. The second piece was called "touched" and this was choreographed by Terence Duncan.

The music that was chosen was perfect for this piece and it really connected you to the characters and their thoughts and feelings.
