The Express Yourself Event took place on Sun 20th Feb 2010 at Dancebase Edinburgh
Young Dancers worked alongside Dance Base, The University of Edinburgh, Herriot Watt University and three experienced choreographers to create their own genomics inspired dance pieces. They heard talks and took part in activities exploring 'Identity and Genetics' and explored ideas such as
'Who are you and how did you become that way? Was it Fate? Genetics? Family pressure? What about ambition and personal choice?
They then expressed themselves in creative dance and invite you to share the end result with them by watching the videos below.
The final dance videos have been entered into Planet Sci-Cast's annual competition - www.planet-scicast.com (see our films on Planet Sci-Cast by clicking here: http://tinyurl.com/67wz5t8 and here http://tinyurl.com/6ym8thm)
