EDUCATION

Levantes Dance Theatre work within education predominantly with university students and emerging professionals from the creative arts. This work is comprised of production commissions, university partnerships for regular degree show preparation and through revisiting venues and development relationships. As a result of this work, Levantes have been able to offer employment to a number of young artists with subsequent productions.

Working within schools with younger students is something Levantes are always keen to do. Their energy, creativity and openness is infectious and it is great to see dance as a popular choice in schools. Exploring movement vocabulary and group dynamics improves communication skills and provides exercise through a creative process. 

The aim for Levantes Dance Theatre when working in any education capacity is utilising the participants creativity, avoiding a prescribed style, or teaching excessive repertoire and favouring instead choreographic structure which encourages individual responses to subject matter. The exchange of ideas is valued above a shorter term ambition to produce material.

The workshops are always fun, energetic and colourful, making use of music, props, costume and humour in the process.

The goal of our participation projects is to educate, inform and inspire a new generation of artists to explore their own creative voices.

We carefully devise projects for people of all ages and abilities.
