The Greens and Golds dance show is now entering its sixth iteration, which is quite an achievement. What makes it even more so is that it’s run by a married couple, Esther and Jonathan Hamer, who push forward despite scarce resources, fuelled solely by their love for dance. Sunday Stabroek recently spoke with Esther, half of the duo behind this production, about the challenges and achievements of the Greens and Golds dance show, which this year will be staged at St Rose’s High School, starting at 7 pm and patrons can pay at the door.
What inspired you to start Kreative Arts, and how did the idea for the Greens and Golds dance show come about?
EH: Kreative Arts was founded by Jonathan, my husband. After a few months, I joined the team, which at the time included several other theatre practitioners. The long-term goal for the group was to be a performing arts company, focusing on training adults to be dancers, actors, and musicians (vocalists). Jonathan and I always wanted to create a showcase for our students, not only to display our talents but theirs as well.
