Dance, mental health & a project in memory of a former Hammond/Laine student

[Picturesinthefirelight]

I contacted the moderators about this post. 

 

A very talented former student of my husband who originally trained in Dance & Musical Theatre at The Hammond before moving into Musical Directing write a beautiful choral piece for the Hammond’s Centenary Concert. 

 

What I didn’t know is that he was moved & inspired to compose the piece by hearing of the suicide of a former Hammond student Olivia Faulkner who several members of the forum knew. 

 

He would like to release an album to raise funds & awareness of mental health in dancers via the fund Olivia’s parents set up & has asked for help bye especially wants to get in touch with any former Hammond or Laine students who knew her who may want to get involved or indeed anyone who can help in any way with this undertaking.
