Sky Arts and English National Ballet Free workshop package - Autumn 2010
Sky Arts, English National Ballet’s National Tour sponsor, is offering twelve free Ballet workshop packages inspired by English National Ballet’s autumn repertoire, Romeo and Juliet with free tickets to see Romeo and Juliet in Southampton, Manchester and Milton Keynes for everyone who takes part in the workshop. The workshops are aimed at KS3 and 4 and will provide an alternative insight into Romeo and Juliet for those students studying the text at GCSE. No previous experience of ballet is necessary.
This offer only applies to secondary schools in the regional touring venues If you know a school that may be interested please contact learning@ballet.org.uK (opens in a new window)
During English National Ballet’s Spring tour, Sky Arts got 209 Primary school children moving in seven one hour dance workshops, exploring movement, themes and characters from the much loved ballet Cinderella to live music accompaniment. Each class then received free tickets to see English National
Ballet’s Schools’ Matinee Cinderella.
