Boys Movement Company (11-15)

Norwich Theatre’s Boys Movement Company is a dynamic new group, for boys aged 11-18. A bold and diverse in-house company, exploring the wide-ranging styles of dance, choreography and movement from around the world.

Each session is £5- if this is a barrier to taking part, bursaries may be available to you. Please see information on our My Theatre scheme here

The autumn term of sessions will begin the company’s journey, which will culminate in a staged sharing at Norwich Theatre in summer 2024. 

Comprising of an hour-long workshop with our resident practitioner (1 Nov), a screening and Q+A with professional dancer from renowned company Ballet Black (16 Nov), and a masterclass with director and dance captain of this year’s panto- Sleeping Beauty (22 Nov).

Norwich Theatre is uniquely placed in the region to provide world class entertainment and access to national and international talent. We are proud of our partnerships with dance and theatre professionals, touring dance productions and expert movement practitioners. We firmly believe in the power of dance and movement to tell stories, unlock inherent creativity and strengthen resilience, confidence and sense of self.

The company will participate in a series of workshops and masterclasses exploring narrative storytelling through dance and physical theatre, working with professional touring companies and local dance artists. Participants will meet industry experienced dancers, attend masterclasses and Q&As, as well as film screenings and on-stage dance productions by renowned companies such as Northern Ballet, Ballet Black and Gecko amongst others.

Dance and movement based workshops enable participants to work as a team, improve communication skills and express themselves through physicality. These high energy sessions will explore a range of dance styles and choreographic approaches, in a friendly accessible setting. Each participant will be encouraged to express themselves at their own pace, and all ability and experience levels are welcome. The company is a collaborative and welcoming space for those interested in dance and physical theatre.
