A few months ago, WP members Naomi, Bettina, Florence, Siham and Yvonne attended a casting for a theater / dancing piece .
Their skills convinced coach Andy, so they began developing a piece for the "Unart" festival / youth competition 2012, called "Ma Hood".
The participating groups were free in choosing how they'd like to perform, it could be any kind of art acting singing, painting on stage, (break-) dancing... The only rule was, it has to be 15 minutes long.
Only the 8 best groups were allowed to perform on the 3 final shows last week (wednesday, thursday and friday.) and Ma Hood was among them!
Their performance consisted of dancing obviously, but also acting and also singing. We all were totally amazed by the show, and the performance of the girls.

There was an unknown jury sitting in the audience, and on friday, they would announce the two best groups from hamburg!
After "Ma Hood" won the audience award on every single evening (Two times the second, and once the first place), hopes were high on friday that they could eventually be one of the winners.

Friday was the big day, and after one final performance on that evening, the jury made their decision: "Ma Hood" was one of the winning groups !

So now, they'll go on Tour in germany, and perform in the cities Frankfurt, Berlin, Dresden and Hamburg together with the two winning groups of the other cities. Right now, they're in Frankfurt and getting ready for their first performance !
