High praise for drama

Dance and drama students from Stourbridge College came away with top marks from the Dudley Festival.

The learning difficulties students from the college's Side by Side groups were performing at the Dudley Festival of Music and Dance over the weekend.

Some of the students did a short dance piece called The Weather Garden, which was described as "outstanding" by adjudicators.

And the second group of students were also given an 'outstanding' mark for their 20 minute dance and drama piece, The Wrong Garden.

Susan Wallin said: "They really deserve it from all the hard work they do during the term and I am very proud."

The Side by Side group are now rehearsing for their next performance, which takes place at the Worcester Theatre Festival on Saturday April 3.
