Projects
Rambert's Learning & Participation department undertakes numerous projects throughout the year.
Same/Different
North Yorkshire County Council has commissioned Rambert to lead an ambitious project with secondary schools in the county. The schools will work with Rambert's dance and music animateurs to create a large-scale performance that will take place in Ripon Cathedral in November 2010. The performance will include a new musical score, created and performed live by young people.
Find Your Talent, North Somerset - Tyntesfield project
Rambert is a partner in the North Somerset's Find Your Talent programme. In August 2010 Rambert will be leading a dance and music project at Tyntesfield, a National Trust site. The project will focus on A Linha Curva and will culminate with a site-specific performance.
Outside World In
Ten primary schools in North Yorkshire are taking part in this project that will involve workshops introducing pupils to contemporary dance alongside CPD sessions for teachers.
Jam Free
Rambert is a partner in Jam Free, a project developed by Sadler's Wells and London Youth Dance. Throughout the 2010/11 academic year, Rambert has worked with students from schools in the London Borough of Hounslow. The students formed a youth dance group and have performed at the Watermans Centre and at the Lilian Baylis Theatre at Sadler's Wells as part of the Connect Festival.
Discover Darwin Project with Bromley Borough Council
Rambert worked in partnership with the World Heritage Team at Bromley Borough Council to deliver a project raising young people's awareness of Charles Darwin and the proposed World Heritage Site in the borough by studying The Comedy of Change. Rambert worked with seven schools and engaged over 100 young people. Participants attended a Rambert performance at Sadler's Wells on in November 2009 and, for many, this was the first time they had experienced a contemporary dance performance. The project culminated in December when the students performed at Bromley Town Hall to an audience of invited guests, friends and family.
Brent & Ealing Schools Dance project
In 2009 with funding from the John Lyons Charity, Rambert worked with ten schools (primary and secondary) in Brent and Ealing, engaging over 200 young people in high quality dance activities. Rambert animateurs delivered a series of workshops in each school based on The Comedy of Change. The schools in each borough came together for sharing events where the young people showcased the new skills that they had developed. In November 2009 all the students involved in the project came to see Rambert perform at Sadler's Wells. In May 2010 Rambert will be leading INSET sessions for both primary and secondary school teachers.
