About "SCRIBE"

Choreographer Peter AB Wilson says about "SCRIBE, "... I am working to create a theatrical choreography that is perhaps unlike anything that Central Queensland audiences have seen before...Scribe is very much a dance work. It has challenging choreography for all the dancers; going beyond what students might expect early in their training. I have found all the dancers taking part to be very talented and it is a credit to their Central Queensland teachers. Scribe has something for everyone to enjoy."
