BESPOKE WORKSHOP PACKAGES

The Learning & Participation team can also offer bespoke workshop packages across the Yorkshire region. These are designed to meet your project objectives, budget and time requirements, and can range from single workshops to one-off projects or longer-term programmes.

If you are a school the workshops can be linked to the curriculum and to specific topics – we have recently delivered workshops integrating Dance and Science for Primary Schools, supported Arts Week activities, delivered GCSE dance choreography workshops and arranged visits to Riley Theatre to watch our Access, Undergraduate and Postgraduate dance students perform.

Whether curriculum-based, out-of-hours provision or teacher-training, our Learning & Participation team will work with you. Please contact  participation@nscd.ac.uk to discuss your requirements.

“The Workshop supported development of GCSE and A Level students regarding technique and creativity. It also developed students’ social skills working across year groups.” Teacher of Dance and Drama
