Strutting for charity

7:40pm Tuesday 23rd September 2008 in Yeovil By Jo Glover

IT WILL be lights, camera action for students at Yeovil College on Friday as they host a fundraising fashion show to support a Sudanese School.

Fashion, photography and technical theatre students are taking part in a charity fashion show in aid of the Grace Secondary School building project in Sudan.

The students are supporting the event with skills learnt as part of their art and performing arts courses.

Technical theatre students will be designing and operating the lighting for the show, which will include outfits designed by fashion students, many of which featured in the end of year fashion show in June.

Art and design lecturer Clarissa Read, said: “It's an absolute honour to be involved in this project.

“It's such a good cause and will make a real difference to the young people of the area.

“We're bringing a selection of our more futuristic and experimental designs with us which we're sure the audience will find exciting and interesting. It will be an excellent experience for our students to show and model their designs.”

The event, which will take place at Kingston Maurward College in Dorset, is in aid of a project to build a new boarding school in Kadugli in the remote Nuba Mountain region of the Sudan.

Tickets are £5 and include drinks on arrival and a free goody bag.
