Dare 2 Dream - Performing Arts Festival

 

The #Dare2Dream Performing Arts Festival celebrates the many natural talents of learners, some of whom have disengaged from the ‘academic pathway’ in school and helps educators understand the power of engagement in unlocking the learning process. 

 

The Festival gives learners the opportunity to perform, to be passionate and collaborate with their peers, to co-create content, to work to deadlines and to perform live with professional lighting and sound, to compete with their peers, receive instant feedback and benchmark their talents. Throughout the festival the tangible energy and excitement of the performers creates an infectious environment that impacts on and motivates fellow learners in each school and openly encourages others to pursue their passions.
