Why
come to Theatre Congress?
This
will be another excellent day for teachers!
The
opportunity to see master classes by wonderful lecturers - to understand
new methods of teaching, different ideas and artistic interpretations
of steps and movements, both in the structured syllabi and free
work. Vitally important for ongoing professional development, particularly
for young teachers.
The
programme covers many different faculties from the Theatre Board
and what a joy it is to see beautiful work in other dance disciplines
outside of our own range of expertise and experience. The South
Asian Dance Faculty - a relatively new section of our Society always
present stunning dancers and I for one, am grateful for the opportunity
to witness these, albeit once a year. The intricacy of their movements,
the lovely costumes and overall style of delivery, so very different
to any other form of dance, opens many spiritual windows in peoples'
minds.
The
lectures by guest artists and choreographers from the West End are
always very exciting and an inspiration to increase our vocabulary
of movement and styles which we can then pass on to our children
and students.
To
end this super day, we present a Showcase which is a chance to see
the winning solos and groups from the year's competitions such as
the Janet Cram, Star Tap, Imperial and Cecchetti Ballet National
and Choreographic Awards. These dancers come from all over the UK
to perform - it is the highlight of the day and certainly reinforces
the conviction that our Society stands for Quality and Artistry.
For
those of you who haven't been before and sometimes wonder what its
all about - do come! Every year teachers and examiners alike, learn
something new which cannot fail to improve and enhance their teaching
methods.
It
is also a good chance to meet friends, to network and to share and
discuss any problems relevant to our business.
We
look forward to seeing you there!
