Summer Dance School – East Bank Performance Project (ages 14 – 19yrs)

Join East London Dance this summer for a fantastic opportunity to create a piece of choreography to be performed in the Olympic park as part of the Celebrating 10 Year Festival.

Guided and directed by some of the industry’s finest dance creatives you’ll learn choreographic skills and get to play with movement and dance vocabulary to co-design a dance piece in respond to the theme ‘Dystopia to Utopia’ set by Gal-Dem Magazine.

Throughout this week-long creative programme (15-19 August) you’ll also get the opportunity to work directly with young musicians who will be creating the music for your piece.

Don’t miss this free opportunity to get creative and see your work as part of a large scale outdoor performance set against the stunning backdrop of the rising East Bank buildings on the Olympic Park.

Sign up today!

If music making is more your thing, you can find out more on UD’s website about their creative programme (15-17 Aug) which will focus on co-creating the music for the performance. This program also takes place at the Talent House.
