in partnership with The B-Bar
Schools, Colleges & Universities
At Barbican Theatre we strongly believe outreach work in schools and within their surrounding communities is vital in providing true access.
It ensures that many young people get the opportunity to participate and have a go at something new. We believe by getting young people fired up about making, creating and performing in-school we offer the knowledge, means and motivation for them to open the door to arts and culture outside of school, in the city and beyond.
We work with different schools in different ways, responding creatively to needs identified by the school.
Past projects have included:
- Skills development workshops in dance or theatre (tailored to curriculum/models)
- Teacher training
- After-school clubs with an opportunity to perform at the Barbican Theatre
- Artistic mentoring in dance, choreography and Theatre devising
- GCSE and BTEC mentoring teacher support
- School Trips ‘Go & See’ Professional performances at the Barbican Theatre – with workshop and theatre tours options
- Barbican Theatre Performance presentations ‘How to get involved’ in class, assembly or to community youth groups.
- Enrichment week make a play/dance performance in a week, working alongside professional artists. (Perform at the Barbican Theatre)
- Creative Residency working with Inspiring National Dance and Theatre Companies. One-off workshops – 1-3 full day/s workshops and performance.
Please get in touch if you wish to discuss any of the above. Likewise, if you are a Head Teacher/Teacher looking to try something new or develop arts provision in your school, then we would be very happy to meet with you. Please email dulcie@barbicantheatre.co.uk
Creativity belongs to everyone, what we have to do is ensure everyone knows it.
