University of Salford students are set to play a leading role in an upcoming performance backed by a Manchester Orchestra and a contemporary dance company.
The student dancers and costume designers will take centre stage for a performance of Black Skies Over Blue Hawaii at The Stroller Hall will be supported by charity orchestra Manchester Camerata and contemporary dance company, Company Chameleon.
The production, Black Skies Over Blue Hawaii will take place in Manchester on Thursday 30 October at 7.30pm.
Blending live orchestral music and contemporary dance, the performance reimagines Mozart’s Symphony No. 35 ‘Haffner’ as a story told through movement and sound.
Students from Salford’s MA Dance and Professional Practices and BA Costume Design programmes have contributed choreography and costume design to the project as part of their coursework and live industry briefs.
This new collaboration offers Salford students valuable professional experience, working alongside established artists and performers to create a large-scale production. They aim to redefine what a dance company and an orchestra can achieve together.
A spokesperson for Manchester Camerata said: “We’re proud to spotlight the incredible work of students from the University of Salford’s MA Dance and Professional Practices and BA Costume Design programmes. Their contributions — from choreography to costume — have helped shape this production through live briefs and hands-on collaboration.”
Tickets for Black Skies Over Blue Hawaii are priced from £3 to £37.50 and are available via The Stoller Hall website.
A 20% discount is available using the code CAMERATA20.
