Shaun Parker, leading Australian choreographer has been working with students from western Sydney Catholic Schools on this dance and theatre work. The students are part of the Diocese of Parramatta's creative and performing arts initiative, CAPTIVATE, and have been working with Shaun for over two years to develop this amazing, breath taking and thought provoking piece of work. The Yard is set in a western Sydney school yard, it depicts the daily reality of conflict and division between cultures, gender etc. The Yard is set to an electro acoustic score by Nick Wales. The performances fuse dance styles - break dance, locking and popping, tutting and krumping and jerking which are all forms of dance that can be found round the yards of western Sydney.
