OUT THERE AT BUNDANON - THE AUSTRALIAN BALLET

The Australian Ballet, in partnership with Bundanon Trust, will conduct a series of workshops, and teacher professional development for local and regional primary schools during August/September 2010. The movement programme is informed by the latest research into kinetic literacy developed by leading Dance Educator, Helen Cameron for The Australian Ballet. Visual arts workshops will also be conducted each day and delivered by Bundanon’s Educators.

Out There engages young people in a range of skill development and expressive activities that highlights the joy of learning dance. All students will participate in a workshop, Room to Move and attend a demonstration, discussion forum, Talking Doing Dancers. The content is selected to complement core values of the overall curriculum with emphasis on physical, language and social development. Out There is taught and performed by a talented ensemble of two female and two male dance presenters from The Australian Ballets Education dance ensemble.

Out There’s success has increased the scope for the ensemble to increase the number of locations and schools it will visits and The Australian Ballet is delighted to be working in collaboration with Bundanon Education Unit to provide a programme that provides a complementary visual and kinetic art experience for young people and teachers in the Shoalhaven district.
