Nearly 30 A-level performing arts students from a Wandsworth sixth form college mounted a show of dance, drama and song at Battersea Arts Centre.

The piece, performed last Friday by students from St Francis Xavier College (SFX) in Malwood Road, explored the centres history as a Second World War shelter, a suffragette protest venue and the destination of the Jarrow Hunger Marchers.

The event, part of BACs Visualise project, was the culmination of a three-day residency where students worked with local London International Festival of Theatre (LIFT) artist, Andrew Sidall.

All aspects of the show were designed and choreographed by the students themselves with guidance from SFX head of performing arts Laura Davies, a member of LIFT Teachers Forum.
