The program includes:

After all the previous preparations our students will perform in a community event, showcasing their performance to family, friends and school communities. ThenMotion Dance Theatre Company will facilitate a two-day film project. Theywill work intensively over two days to choreograph and shoot the film on different locations in Lebanon. Mosaics in Motion film will be processed, edited and produced back in the UK and will be posted/uploaded to the British Council and our school blog and web site in January 2013. Stay tuned!
