Teacher Commitment & Training<br />
By comparing the two ballets, children will be able to<br />
observe two ways of approaching choreography and how<br />
the body and body language can be used differently to<br />
tell a story and portray emotions.<br />
It is advised that teachers prepare children in advance for<br />
the themes covered in the two ballets, in order for them<br />
to fully understand the ideas portrayed.<br />
Teachers are responsible for organising transport to and<br />
from Thameside Theatre.<br />
What happens at the end?<br />
Teachers can explore themes from both ballets back in<br />
