InChorus - Dancing In The Street (featuring giant Peebles Flash Mob)
On August 27th 2017 InChorus and the people of Peebles joined together to film a momentous music video for the choir’s own recording of “Dancing in the Street”.
700 people of all ages took part in a dance extravaganza which culminated in a giant Flash Mob on Peebles High Street.
The event, a collaboration between Eastgate Theatre and InChorus, was part of the Creative Peebles Festival which is held in the town every August.
The project was lead by Aly Skidmore with dance instruction by Alex Saunders (LiveForDance), film direction by Tom Swift (Tom Swift Films) and sound by Andy Lumb.
Immerse yourself in the spirit of InChorus; the big choir with the big smile and the biggest heart.
Filmed on location in Peebles, Scottish Borders

Islander, A New Musical
Tickets:
Helen Milne Productions in association with Mull Theatre present
Islander - A New Musical
Eilidh has never left her island. Every day is the same. Same chores, same people, same conversations. She stands on the cliffs and dreams of the Bigland over the sea.
Then one day a strange girl from faraway arrives on the Island - and with her, events that will change Eilidh's life forever.
Boldly exploring themes of conflict, migration and identity, Islander is for everyone 8 years and older. Blending dramatic action, epic storytelling and a cappella song, the performers live-record and layer their voices with looping technology to create a feast for the ears and imagination.
