What an amazing time was had bringing JAZZ CONVERSATIONS to the stage at The Place Theatre on 20 and 21 September 2024. A double bill program with FOOTPRINTS IN JAZZ and TOUCHES OF MILES.

We also generated some wonderful reviews both from critics and our audiences alike. With two evenings that brought original jazz compositions from Paul Jenkins and a 6-piece Live Jazz Ensemble alongside our company of 9 dancers led and choreographed by Dollie Henry MBE.
