2008 Show Poster

The Magic Lake

Ask anyone who has ever been to see a show by Torbay's Marian McDermott School of Dance and they will be sure to say how impressed they were. Marian literally spends a whole year choreographing and producing a really unique and creative ballet story for her many students to perform. This year's show is no exception. The school proudly presents "The Magic Lake", a full length entertaining original ballet which tells the story of a quest to find magic lake water to cure a wounded Prince.

The talented young dancers perform many varied roles from the Lords, Ladies and Princesses of the palace to the beautiful naiads and draiads (water and forest spirits), delicate butterflies and even the spectacular northern lights.

As if that isn't enough this is also your chance to catch one of the hottest new youth dance companies to come out of the North Shore. One Step Beyond is the name of a dynamic new group of talented teenagers. The troupe will open the show with a varied programme of contemporary dance which promises to showcase the choreographic and performance skills of these inspired young dancers. Launched only in August, One Step Beyond has already been out performing all over the Shore to critical acclaim. Don't miss them!
