PNEUMATA YOUTH DANCE COMPANY
and PERFORMING ARTS |
A dance company for young people aged 8 to 21 years who wish to train at a high level technically in dance, drama and singing, whilst learning the importance of grounded, loving relationships together. Working with The Flow System of breath work to help relax the body and develop each artist's movement vocabulary, unique to them, we encourage the students to follow the same ethos as our parent company, building trust, with both hard work and fun! The students will also interact and perform alongside experienced professionals from time to time as part of their personal and creative development.
All students will spend time training together as a company as well as developing advanced techniques and Pneumata/21-12 Films
|
OUR ETHOS |
Pneumata is founded on a Christian faith and undertakes a huge variety of contracts in 'the church context and out of it'. Members of differing beliefs understand this, and any students joining Pneumata Youth Dance Company/Performing Arts will need to understand this similarly. Uniquely members of Pneumata Youth Dance Company, will be given increased responsibility in the running and artistic direction of Pneumata Youth Dance!
