‘Rocks’ Scribe Theresa Ikoko No Longer Attached To Channel 4 Drama Series ‘Dance School’


Theresa Ikoko is no longer attached to Channel 4's 'Dance School', her past credits include 'Rocks' & 'Grime Kids'

Produced by Lost Boys and Fairies maker Duck Soup Films, it follows an eclectic group of dance students as they navigate the intense highs and lows of coming of age in today’s complex world. With shades of the Ikoko-penned Rocks although set in the north of England, Channel 4 said at the time that Dance School would “champion characters who have been meticulously workshopped and inspired by true stories.” Adjacent to the production was 10 industry training placements available to individuals with no previous broadcast TV experience. With Claire Wilson, she was BAFTA-nominated for 2019’s Rocks, which received critical acclaim and followed a teenage girl in London hiding the fact that her mother has left her and her brother behind with little money.
