"Ma Hood": Winner of Unart 2012

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 !

I'll keep you guys updated on this blog about how their tour goes, so don't forget to check back here!

Girls, I enjoyed watching you perform so much, you did an amazing job and you definitely deserved to be the winner. Have fun on tour and hopefully you'll gain a lot of great experiences!



... and all I can say is :
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so, I'm so, I'm so proud of you !

Neverland 2

So.. here is the post I promised you yesterday :)

It all started last year, in fall 2010 when a theatre project called "FACES" was formed in hamburg. It existed of 3 different dance performances. One of them was Neverland, where Tony and Siham also participated in. It was created by Mayke - a total stranger to me at that time!

In spring this year, Mayke joined Winchester Pictures and we all learned to know and love her.
She announced that there was going to be Neverland part 2 staged this year, and WP members Niloo and Tony were a part of it.
Rehearsals began a couple of months ago, and they were really tough ofcourse - but the result was amazing.

Last thursday (november 3) was the premiere, and the show was performed again on the following day (that's when I got to watch it).
So now we've talked about it enough, time to let the pictures tell you the rest of the story!

My last words: the show was icredible, and I'm proud of every single one of the dancers, but especially of our wp members niloo and tony.. because they transformed from hip hop dancers to wonderful contemporary dancers. And ofcourse mayke, who created and organized all this. AMAZING WORK! and now enjoy the photos !
