“Wonderful. Heart warming to see such a range of ages so engaged.”
“What an absolutely amazing performance. I felt emotional watching it and totally immersed in the experience.”
“It felt vital in alerting people to possibilities that can be achieved when we unite for a cause.”
“My 5 years old said: ‘The only thing I would change about the show is me, I should be in it’.”
“The performance of Clash was electrifying. It reflects all the great qualities of DU Dance productions- ambition, energy, skill and connection. It was so touching to see performers of all ages coming together to tell this story, using multi-artforms, with dance at its core. It was thrilling to see the fusion of dance combined with BMX’s stunts set against the stunning heritage backdrop of Carlisle Memorial. There was great attention to details throughout, reflected not only through movement, but in the costumes, lights, music and performances. Clash has made a lasting impression, huge congratulations to all involved.”

“CLASH was a very powerful and moving event. The collective energy and passion of the performers, young people and elders, transmitted through the intoxicating mix of street art forms – graffiti, breaking, BMXing, rapping, contemporary dance – was palpable.
“To see young people come together and be empowered to give expression to their shared passions and concerns in these varied creative forms was inspiring. And the change that was happening to the individual participants through this collective creative journey was clear. Fantastic, important and dynamic work by DU Dance and their fantastic CLASH team.”
