Jam Free 2012
Rambert is working in partnership with London Youth Dance to deliver Jam Free.
Jam Free is a dance performance project coordinated by London Youth Dance and Sadler's Wells for schools in the outer London boroughs. The project is designed to inspire girls aged 11 - 16 years to take part in physical activity through dance.
The project will see Rambert partnering with three schools in Sutton, Greenshaw High School, Wallington High School and Carshalton High. The schools will work together to form one dance club. The dance club will have access to ten workshops delivered by a Rambert Animateur and create a piece of choreography in response to a Rambert repertoire. The group will have an opportunity to perform as part of the Connect Festival at the Lilian Baylis on Monday 21 March 2012.
Wandsworth Project
Rambert is delighted to be working in partnership with Wandsworth Art Services and Wandsworth Training and Resource Centre (TRC) to offer an exciting dance project for young people in the borough. Funded by the BBC community dance fund, the project allows young people access to high quality dance activity, with the aim of increasing knowledge of difference dance styles and raising aspirations through dance.
So far Rambert have led four taster workshops for young people at TRC. Led by Rambert animateur Hannah Lockyer, young people aged 11 - 18 have had the opportunity to learn movement phrases and try creative tasks from one of the Company's popular pieces A Linha Curva choreographed by Itzik Galili. Some of the young people have used this material to develop their own work which has successfully reached the final of the local borough performing arts competition Young Performer 2011.
From January, Rambert will be working on a regular basis with the dance group at TRC. They will be working towards performances as part of Wandsworth Arts Festival and Big Dance 2012. The young people will have the opportunity to see Company rehearsals at our studios in Chiswick, have the chance to partake in insight events and attend performances at Sadler's Wells in May next year.
Move-In
Move-In is an exciting partnership project with Lambeth City Learning Centre that sees Rambert working with nine schools in the London Borough of Lambeth. Young people will get an opportunity to see the Company perform at Sadler's Wells and take part in workshop and performance opportunities throughout the year. Move-In is supported by the Prince's Foundation for Children and the Arts.
Hackney primary schools partnership
Rambert works in partnership with a network of seven primary schools in the London borough of Hackney. The partnership has involved a ten week project that finished with a performance at the Bonnie Bird Theatre, Laban in April 2011 as well as a summer school in July 2011.
