Candoco
Since 2008, Yorkshire Dance and Candoco Dance Company have been collaborating on a project funded by the Paul Hamlyn Foundation. The two companies, alongside Sheffield-based Danceworks UK, have established relationships with schools in Huddersfield and Leeds, providing career development opportunities for dance teachers and dance artists from around the Yorkshire region.
Yorkshire Dance and Candoco are now pleased to celebrate the culmination of the project with a weekend of activity at Yorkshire Dance, Leeds, in November 2011.
Saturday 5 November, 11.00am – 5.00pm
An inset day for GCSE teachers with Luke Pell, Head of Learning & Development for Candoco, examining inclusive practice in GCSE dance teaching.
A one day seminar exploring Rafael Bonachela’s And Who Shall Go to the Ball? created for Candoco in 2007. This exhilarating work has recently been added to the prescribed works on the AQA GCSE Dance specifcation. The day will introduce teachers to the key themes of the work, practically explore material through workshops with school students and culminate with a surgery session on adaptation and inclusive practice. Ends 5pm; limited capacity (15)
