In 2007 UK dance choreographer Sue Way joined children's charity The Esther Benjamins Trust (www.ebtrust.org.uk) for a volunteer assignment in Nepal. She worked with girls that the Trust has rescued from Indian circuses after being trafficked there by agents who preyed on them and their families. Inspired by Sue, the girls drew upon their experiences of hardship, abuse and imprisonment to produce a new dance entitled "Capture and Release". All the dancers in this video once endured abuse and exploitation inside the circus. Now they are free and the Trust is helping them pick up the pieces (self expression through dance has a powerful therapeutic impact) and engage with the present and work towards a brighter future.
