Detention in Music Room 1

A tantalising teaser for ​Detention in Music Room 1

Choreographed by Alfred Taylor-Gaunt to Mozart's Symphony 40 in G Minor, Detention in Music Room 1 follows the uncompromising story of two testosterone-charged schoolboys trapped in a lunchtime detention on a hot summer's day. A rather shy and studious boy is repeatedly distracted from his work by the energetic, boyish exploits of his classmate. ​
The atmosphere rife with pent up frustration is pushed to climax with the introduction of the school's most popular girl...

Detention in Music Room 1 ​is the first of a series of short dance theatre films by Taylor-Gaunt. We aim to release the short film in early 2017.
