A GROUP of performers from Frankston have claimed an award at the 2020 Wakakirri competition.

Bam Arts Inc, which runs programs for people with disabilities, took out the award for best social story with their show BAMDEMIC.

The show was completed via Zoom while stage four restrictions were in place.

Wakakirri is an annual performing arts competition for schools. This year the event was held online.

Head member Kat Hoyos said “in a year like this one, it’s incredible that students and teachers have created such solid stories and performances. Despite all of the unexpected obstacles this year, these Story-Dances are every bit as moving and inspiring as the ones performed in theatres at previous Wakakirri Festivals. Chookas to everyone who participated.”
