Kildare College held its annual Arts Showcase last week, with a series of stellar performances for local primary schools, parents and friends of the College. A flagship event on the College’s calendar, this event celebrates Kildare’s rich Arts culture in an incredible display of talent from the Dance, Drama, Music and Visual Arts students.
Spread over two theatres, guests were dazzled by the dancers as they transformed from Jazz to Contemporary to Hip Hop genres in an explosive display of artistic innovation. The blend of emotion, passion and talent left our audiences wanting more. Powerful imagery on the big screen behind the students added dramatic effect.
Drama students added comic relief in between the music and dance performances, with one performance spilling out into and through the audience which was most amusing.
The music students raised the roof with their stunning voices, performing solo and group renditions of many classic tunes and some modern favorites, with audience members bopping along in parts, and left spellbound by the fragility and emotion of others.
Margaret Rouggos, Principal, says “I’m continually amazed and impressed by the exceptional talents of the students at the College. This year’s performance was an amazing event that left audiences wanting to see and hear more.”
The event, in its seventh consecutive year, highlights the Colleges rich art’s program and is a reminder of the Colleges reputation for having a very strong performing arts and dance culture, attracting many to the College for this reason. Scholarships are offered to students showing an outstanding ability, desire and passion for music, voice, dance or drama. Visit the College website for more information.
