Choreographer’s Note:
This dance was written to celebrate the return of the Borders Railway - the longest new domestic railway to be constructed in Britain for over 100 years.
After almost 50 years without a train service in this part of the world, trains finally returned in September 2015
The dance is choreographed to I AM THE TRAIN, an original song by George Inglis.
Music and story video is on VIMEO https://vimeo.com/138161184
