Footage from the Tongue-in-Cheek Eccentrics dance parade which took place in June 2009, as part of Warwick Student Arts Festival, at Warwick University.
The parade moved between two different stages and involved the swapping of music and costumes between dance styles. This footage is that which was choreographed by Gemma Connell, now the artistic Director of Broken Rose, who used this project as inspiration for her performing arts company.

The original idea of Broken Rose came in the summer of 2008, when I decided to organise a dance parade on campus at Warwick University the following year. The name of this parade was “Tongue-in-Cheek” and, with the help of many university students, some with and some without dance training, I tried out a few ideas for what would eventually become Broken Rose.
Here is a video from summer 2009 of a selection of “Tongue-in-Cheek” rehearsals.
