Students staged an award-worthy performance when they put on a sell-out Oscar-inspired evening of entertainment.
Year 10 GCSE students from Middlesbrough’s Unity City Academy (UCA) sang and danced to songs that have either been nominated or won an Oscar since 1928 at the event, held at The Southlands Centre, close to the Ormesby Road school.
Routines incorporated a number of different styles, from street dance to tap.
Jenny Dunn, performing arts teacher at UCA, said: “Students have been working exceptionally hard on creating performances for the last three months and have come up with 30 performances which all count towards their final GCSE grade.
“The students have done all the advertising for the performance and have been in charge of selling tickets to friends, family and staff.”
As well as dancing and singing, the academy’s drama department came up with some showcases that were also performed on the evening.
“This is the first time in a long time that we have incorporated drama with the performing arts, added Jenny.
