EDUCATIONAL

Supporting the future of dance is a significant initiative for our company.

We believe that artists should always have an opportunity to be exposed to many methods and techniques to expand on their practice.

We continue fostering educational engagement across an international spectrum to further the conversation of dance training and to support the future of dance artists. Our vast creative experience has led us to consider carefully crafted content aimed to inspire participants with new insights into high-quality practices whilst also connecting to the Company’s own professional process.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

/

Pett|Clausen-Knight has undertaken the leading of many outreach projects to the benefit communities worldwide.

We believe that dance should be accessible to all and devised workshops to engage with those without dance experience, from children to adults and elderly. We believe in the power of dance to provide physical, mental and emotional benefits to all communities.

During the years we have developed different inclusive workshop activities that can be adapted to different community groups. Each project is a new challenge for us to put together our experience with different sensory and creative practices in order to provide participants with a relevant, inclusive and successful practice.
