The Spiltmilk Education programme has successfully taken the company’s innovative approach to dance making into schools and community settings and enabled participants to explore and challenge their own creativity.
We have extensive experience of delivering dance sessions in a range of learning environments for early years children right through to adults. We offer an education programme that can provide the following sessions as well as bespoke workshops.
Taster workshops: These can give participants a taste of the unique way we approach choreography. This can cater for all levels of ability and experience providing everyone with the opportunity to experience something new and inspiring.
Residencies: We can work intensively with a group allowing them to explore a subject in depth and culminate in a performance. The group also gain experience of working as part of a professional dance company.
Performance and Workshop Package: The company can come and perform our current piece ‘Spiltmilk Say Dance’ for a group and lead accompanying workshops providing further insight into the choreographic devices used in the creation of the work. The company can also develop a performance piece with workshop groups that can be presented as a ‘curtain raiser’ prior to a performance of the full work.
“The children were all engaged and took part. They understood the tasks and enjoyed the workshop. The end results were impressive”
T. Johnson, Year 6 teacher, Fairfield Endowed Primary School, Buxton
Every Child Matters: Any Spiltmilk Dance session provides the opportunity for participants to enjoy being physically active in a fun and creative environment, in doing this we aim to help work towards the overall physical wellbeing for children that is encouraged through the government agenda: Every Child Matters.
