Tanwood School For Performing Arts - 80th Anniversary Show

Welcome to a night of celebration, nostalgia, and artistic brilliance. Tonight, we gather to honour a remarkable milestone: the 80th anniversary of the legend that is Tanwood School for Performing Arts. For eight decades, this institution has been a beacon of creativity, nurturing the talents of countless artists who have gone on to inspire and enrich our world. From its humble beginnings in a garage in Ferndale Road, Swindon in 1944, born out of a dream of Mollie Tanner to create a sanctuary for the arts amidst a changing world, our school has grown into a vibrant community where passion, dedication, and innovation flourish. Each generation of students and educators has contributed to a legacy that transcends time, blending tradition with contemporary flair, and pushing the boundaries of artistic expression. This evening, we invite you to journey with us through the rich tapestry of our history, told through dance and music. LEGENDARY is more than a performance—it's a tribute to MISS MOLLIE who founded this institution, her daughter POLLYANN & the teachers who have dedicated their lives to fostering talent, and the students whose creativity knows no bounds.
