A DANCE group is looking for members to take part in a new performance project to commemorate women during the First World War.

Dancefest has been commissioned by Wyre Forest District Council to create the performance for their war centenary events.

The group is divided into two sections, Dancefest Creatives and DFA.

Dancefest Creatives are looking for anybody over the age of 18 who is interested in dance, choreography and performance. No performance experience is necessary.

DFA is a performance group for dancers aged 20 and over who have strong contemporary technique, are used to working creatively and have a sense of adventure.

Both sections will be working with choreographer Marie Oldaker to create a piece based on the lives of women during the First World War as they discovered a new sense of purpose and liberation, despite enduring hardship and loss.

Rehearsals will take place at weekends, starting on June 22 and July 27 and the cost to join Dancefest Creatives is £60 or £48 for concessions and £15 to join DFA.

The first performance is on August 23 as part of Kidderminster Arts Festival.
