CAMPION COLLEGE DANCE SOCIETY

Miramar · 2025

ARTISTIC DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE In August 2009 I decided to pursue a career in teaching after working at the Planning Institute of Jamaica in the Social Policy Planning and Research Division for just under two years. I got bored of being around the desk and wanted to pursue my childhood dream, teaching. I accepted a teaching position at Campion College, to lecture Economics at the advanced level. Immediately I wanted to make an impact on the school’s culture and signed up to be a faculty member of the school’s Dance Society.

The Society was just a mere club, meeting twice a week for 2 hours with no serious form or structure. I saw the talent, I had a vision and immediately started working.

Dwright Wright Artistic Director

I have always been interested in the arts. My high school years saw my talent as a singer and actor, being the main act for many of the school’s plays while at St. Catherine High School. Under the guidance of Dr. O’ Neal Mundle, I started to develop a great passion for the arts. I remembered when he asked me in 2004 to choreograph my first piece ever for a school production while still a student at the institution. My musical choice was Many Rivers to Cross by Jimmy Cliff. Little did I know a seed was planted.

Developing the dance program at Campion started off difficult in the early stages. It was something new. The style of dancing, the intensity of the program, and the professional organizational structure were all new to the student body and faculty.

However, what made the process easy was the support of the principal, Grace Baston.

Mrs. Baston understood the arts very well and so she gave me the space, resources and, most of all, the trust to pursue the vision I had for the Society. She hardly questioned most of what I proposed and I believe that it was that trust that played a critical role in the development of dancing at Campion College.

Upon my request, the school hired Mr. Derrick McCarthy who was my dance teacher while I was in high school. I never really danced, however. I was never good at it. As a youngster I had to sit and watch my friends in rehearsals and on stage. It was painful but I attended every rehearsal nevertheless.

Miramar · 2025

ARTISTIC DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE continued As the group evolved there was a need for restructuring. I guess this is one of the reasons why Campion Dance Society remains such a strong force in Jamaica - the structure is always changing. Being unable to train the dancers myself, I believed I needed more teachers to assist. I hired Oraine Frater, Orville McFarlane and Renée I. McDonald, of course with the blessings of our beloved principal. Under the immense talents of these individuals, the group rose to stardom in becoming one of the top high school dance ensembles in the country and the Caribbean. Our dynamic team continued to evolve with the addition of Shaneaka Gibbs, Shavaughn Byndloss and most recently Oniel Pryce.

While it is not our first international performance, having performed in Copenhagen Denmark, Deerfield Academy in Deerfield, Massachusetts and York College in Queens, New York it is our first time doing a two-legged dance tour in two of the most popular states in the US - Florida and New York. I therefore want to congratulate the Dance Society on this momentous achievement.

For such a time as this in our country’s history, God again is using ordinary people to do extraordinary things.

As our country celebrates 61 years since its independence, we have taken this into account and have rightfully titled our show, “ROOTS”. As a result, we will be showcasing our national pride as we reflect on the struggles we have faced as a nation and the optimism in our hearts as we look to the future. Dance is such an exquisitely ephemeral art form. As it disappears before you, only traces of the movements remain in your memory and in the bodies of the dancers.

From the opening dance CRY OF AFRICA to our Independence dance drama tribute, JAMAICA LOVE, you will feel the raw kinetic energy from a talented and dedicated group of dancers. Our intention is to push the artistic boundaries by incorporating production dynamics that will immerse you into environments completely designed to move you.

Ladies and gentlemen, it is with national pride that I present to you, right here in Fort Lauderdale and New York City - ROOTS!

CAMPION COLLEGE DANCE SOCIETY

Miramar · 2025

PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE It is with immense pride that I welcome everyone who has turned out to support the Campion Dance Society’s production “Roots” being presented in this magnificent theatre.

Our entire school community considers it a signal honour to perform in this space and in this city.

As principal of Campion College, it has been an absolute joy and privilege for me to witness the evolution of this group, from a small band of students meeting twice a week to practise dances which would occasionally be presented at a school ceremony, to a dance powerhouse, Mrs. Grace Baston completely dominating the genre at the high Principal school level in Jamaica, and providing a ‘feeder school’ for Jamaica’s top dance companies. The accomplishments of this wonderful troupe in only twelve years, have been nothing short of phenomenal.

And all this has been achieved primarily through the vision and passion of our artistic director, Mr. Dwright Wright.

I would like to salute all those whose generosity have made these performances of “Roots” in the United States of America possible: Our sponsors, supporters, benefactors, our unbelievably gifted dancers, our world class team of choreographers, our fiercely dedicated ‘dance moms’ and ‘dance dads’, our talented technical team and the incomparable Dwright Wright.

Once again to all of you, our patrons, my heartfelt thanks, May the powerful language of rhythm and movement, so fluently spoken by these Campionites in “Roots”, uplift your heart and grace your soul.
