"What Pimlico, through choreographers Paul Chantry and Rae Piper, have teased out of the 17 law-breaker performers, some of whom will never have been in a theatre before, is quite extraordinary." MUSICAL THEATRE REVIEW- Jeremy Chapman on 'Sister Act' choreographed by Chantry Dance for Pimlico Opera at HMP Bronzefield |
"Thank you so much for the amazing workshop today - we all had the best time! Honestly, all the children absolutely loved all the routines and physical theatre they learned with you today - they are so lucky to have had that incredibly enriching experience! The choreography was fabulous and we recognised it from the show! Then the physical theatre section was very engaging, particularly lovely to combine both drama and dance. Your approach to the variety of ages and abilities was a pleasure to behold and we are so very grateful to you for the whole experience." DANDELION THEATRE ARTS MANAGER - The Leatherhead Theatre |
