Royal Opera House<br />
Project Name<br />
Create and Dance: Alice’s Adventures<br />
in Wonderland<br />
About the Project<br />
This year, the Royal Opera House (ROH) will be piloting<br />
Create and Dance: Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, in<br />
Thurrock. The 10-week programme combines classroombased<br />
and digital activities to give KS1-2 students an<br />
introduction to dance.<br />
With strong curriculum links, the programme aims to<br />
give children a better understanding of ballet; developing<br />
new physical skills and unlocking their imagination and<br />
creativity.<br />
Teachers do not need any previous dance knowledge in<br />
order to take part.<br />
Beginning with a one-day CPD that explores creative<br />
dance in the classroom, teachers are guided through the<br />
process of creating a short original dance with their<br />
class.<br />
ROH also provide schemes of work that are designed to<br />
be used alongside a series of short films, for you to show<br />
in the classroom at the beginning of each weekly lesson.<br />
The films are stimuli to the creative process, introducing<br />
The Royal Ballet, repertoire and a range of dance<br />
techniques.<br />
ROH will also be piloting a process to relay a<br />
performance of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland directly<br />
into your classroom or school hall – with the aim to<br />
increase the number of students that will see The Royal<br />
Ballet perform one of their signature pieces.<br />
Students also have the opportunity to share their<br />
experience with other schools at the Alice’s Adventures<br />
in Wonderland Sharing.<br />
KS1 and KS2.<br />
Suitability<br />
Could be adapted for EYFS and SEN.<br />
Schools can deliver this project with as many KS1-2<br />
classes as they wish.<br />
