A Kilwinning dancer has been picked for a prestigious dance training and performance programme set to tour across Scotland.
Seventeen-year-old Lauren McGowan was selected from a rigorous audition process to form the Project Y company joining 19 other young dancers from across the UK to tour from Wednesday, July 24.
The company spend four-weeks over the summer working with four different choreographers to create new dance works which are then toured to venues across Scotland.
Lauren said: “One of the reasons I wanted to join Project Y was that I wanted to meet other talented dancers who share the same passion for dance as I do and friends who have taken part in Project Y in the past couldn’t recommended it enough.”
Anna Kenrick, Artistic Director of YDance said: “Project Y is a unique intensive training and performance programme which aims to develop the technical, creative, and performance skills of the young dancers taking part. It gives them a real sense of what it’s like to work in the industry as a performer – from the audition process, to working with top choreographers to creating and rehearsing a number of dance pieces, right through to touring the work on a national tour. The dancers are selected through a rigorous audition process and their talent is extraordinary."
