• Primary workshops (ages 7-11) Egypt and the Pyramids
• Secondary workshops (ages 11-18) Wayne McGregor’s Infra
Each workshop will enable students to create their own short video and relating phrase of movement to interact with via a projector or screen.
For those schools that are unable to attend workshops in our venue locations or our zoom sessions, or would like additional help with their Dance Live! creations, Dance Live! recommends the following facilitators:
Your story is the most important part of your show; how and why you tell it can be the difference between gaining or losing vital points.
We understand how difficult it can be to write stories at a competitive level and every year we see some moving, hilarious, and incredibly thought provoking pieces.
Our associate artist Ricky Tart has offered to work with schools to develop their shows to a high standard, focusing on perfecting your story, and giving advice on screen content.
Ricky has taught theatre, creative writing, and filmmaking for nearly twenty years in schools, and has worked on a variety of theatre competitions and tournaments on the south coast – helping schools to achieve top positions in the running and claiming first, second, and third place for the national video competitions.
To work with Ricky for half a day is £200, depending on distance he can either travel to you or meet over Zoom. To book a workshop with Ricky, please contact: trickyart@me.com
