Chapters 25 + 1 was the 26th anniversary celebration event produced by Impact Dance at the Peacock Theatre. In 2015, Impact Dance celebrated their 20th Anniversary at the Lilian Baylis Studio. So, it was only right that more than 5 years on after years of growth and development that the company took over the bigger venue, “Peacock Theatre”.
Impact Dance programmed 8 companies that all played a significant role in the journey of the company to be part of this celebration.
Each company was selected for a different reason, as they all play into different strands of the work Impact Dance does. From youth projects to international collaborations.
The show featured BOP Jazz Theatre UK, Reading School of Dance, The Urdang ACS, Fusions Elite, ZooNation Youth Company, ILL-ABILITIES, Far From The Norm, Boy Blue Young Artists.
These 8 companies accompanied by the work from Impact Dance gives an insight into how Impact Dance has been working and supporting artists to strengthen the Hip-Hop dance community nationally and internationally by providing new opportunities for the past 27 years.
