Little Big Dance<br />
<strong>Take</strong> <strong>Art</strong> is joining forces with lead partner<br />
South East Dance, alongside Dance East and<br />
Yorkshire Dance for a major new national early<br />
years dance project.<br />
What is Little Big Dance?<br />
Little Big Dance is a major three-year national<br />
initiative created by South East Dance in<br />
partnership with <strong>Take</strong> <strong>Art</strong>, DanceEast and<br />
Yorkshire Dance, with more than £371,000<br />
investment from Paul Hamlyn Foundation and<br />
<strong>Art</strong>s Council England.<br />
The programme supports choreographers<br />
and dancers <strong>to</strong> make captivating and diverse<br />
work for, and with, under fives and their<br />
families, particularly those from marginalised<br />
backgrounds with little or no access <strong>to</strong> the arts.<br />
We want <strong>to</strong> revolutionise the way early years<br />
dance is recognised and <strong>to</strong> support more high<br />
quality dance work for the under fives.<br />
Who does it impact?<br />
The voice of the child is at the heart of the<br />
creative process. Throughout the two 18<br />
month cycles delivered over 3 years, eight<br />
commissioned works will be developed, with<br />
four scaled for production in regional venues.<br />
Little Big Dance will support eight dance artists<br />
<strong>to</strong> gain valuable skills by working in a variety of<br />
pre-school settings.<br />
Little Big Dance is also supported by Dance<br />
Umbrella, Birmingham Hippodrome, Strike<br />
a Light Festival and English National Ballet<br />
School.<br />
