DANCE 2 COMMUNICATE (Project 1.)

Aim of project:

To bring the community together by working with local nurseries, schools and colleges and putting on a dance show towards the end of 2011.

Dance 2 communicate will explore many styles of dance, themes and topics. The choreographer will liaise with the pupils and schools and will work on a dance piece using the theme, topic or issue chosen by the pupils. The pupils will get given the opportunity to choreograph sections of the piece allowing them to work on their creative and choreography skills. There is a list of themes e.t.c. to choose from, which can be found in the information pack.

There will be an annual show where all nurseries, schools and colleges will come together to show their work over two afternoons. There will be a fee which the Nursery, school or college will have to pay to take part which is non refundable and will cover the choreographers fees, show costs, costumes, hiring of extra staff, venue hire and advertising costs.  The entry fee is to be found in the prices section of the website. 

There will be a limited amount of spaces available with a total of 20 pupils per school, each school can enter more then one age group for no additional cost. The Nursery, school or college can recommend pupils to enter or Dancetopia can create an audition process if more than 20 pupils are interested. The choreographer will work over a period of  10 weeks with the pupils and  this will include one rehearsal a week after school for 1 hour and a technical and dress rehearsal leading up to the show, which all pupils must attend. The technical and dress rehearsal will be held at the chosen performance venue, but all details will follow.
