HI ALL!
FESTIVE WISHES AND A BIG THANK YOU to all of you have been involved in our creative dance classes and education programme over the past year!
Congratulations to all the children, young people and adults involved in our weekly community classes here at Chisenhale Dance Space they have shown amazing talent and creativity.
Looking back over the past term we had great performances from the Creative childrens classes at our Homemade Festival in November with an exciting commission, film and performance with artist Michael Joseph and an all boy group at Morpeth School ‘Lessons with the Master’ exploring dance and martial arts.
We have been exploring ideas and themes around the Olympics and Paralympics in 5 local primary schools as part of Transformers programmme. Participants have been creating their own Opening Ceremonies, devising new dance based sports and getting a whole lot fitter!
We provided an inspiring INSET session for local teachers looking at developing dance and creativity in schools. Here’s what’s coming up…
