Creative Learning

Douglas has a long history of working in a range of contexts including education and community delivering high quality dance sessions that are physically demanding. MDDT’s real dance concepts make for unique education work, pushing the technical and creative ability of participants whilst exposing the choreographic processors of Douglas Thorpe and his dancers.

Workshops

- Can be developed for participants aged 16 years and over to professionals
- Are relevant to school/college groups studying dance at BTEC, A level and Degree standard
- Can be targeted to youth and community groups
- Some movement experience is preferred but not essential as movement material will be adapted to suit the ability of the participants.
- Are accompanied with live music
- Will require the host to provide a clean, warm space, preferably with a sprung dance floor, CD and DVD playback facilities.
- Workshop lengths can range from 3 hours to 1 week
- Workshops can be delivered to a maximum of 15-20 participants

Workshops are tailor-made to suit the group’s needs but a typical example is

- A physical warm-up based on a mixture of Graham and Release techniques that will build core stability, strength and stamina
- If desired teaching an extract of MDDT’s Rep
- Choreographic skills development through creative tasks based on the hard hitting but real concepts explored within the company’s work
- If desired, a sharing Question and answer session

Workshop prices are negotiable dependant on the length of the session and the number of participants.
