Competing against dancers from schools and colleges across the area, the talent of Chichester College’s level-three dance students saw them crowned winners.

The students drew inspiration from the popular board game Cluedo for their piece, The Art of Murder, which saw them join forces with other departments from across the college, including media and creative sound design students who helped to design and edit the soundtrack and screen content.

Meanwhile stage management students designed and created the props for the performance and the college’s costume students created costumes to bring the characters to life.

And the dance students weren’t the only Chichester College students to impress, with Annie Francis – who designed and queued the lighting for the performance – winning a special award for her efforts.

Helen Loftus, interim principal at Chichester College, said: “This is a phenomenal result for our talented dancers.

“To draw inspiration from Cluedo and bring it to life through dance demonstrates the creativity and imagination they have, as well as their talent.

“I know they have worked really hard with their lecturers and they have put in a lot of hours to refine and hone their performance, so I’m delighted to see their determination has been rewarded and I wish them luck at finals in May.”
