Professional Dance Workshop organised by Hall for Cornwall

Whilst the Hall for Cornwall Trust is perhaps best known for managing the venue and the performances we stage at your theatre, the charity uses the funds available to it to promote Performing Arts in Cornwall in a variety of ways.  Often this work goes unseen and one of the purposes of this blog will be to record some of the excellent work done by our Community and Education team to further the charitable aims of Hall for Cornwall through direct arts projects in Cornwall.

One of the most recent events coincided with the acclaimed Jasmin Vardimon Dance Company's recent performance here on the 2nd December.  Hall for Cornwall, with support from The Works, arranged for a well-attended dance masterclass workshop to be hosted by two of the company's performers for fellow dance professionals from right across Cornwall.

An event like this allows professional dancers an invaluable opportunity to exchange ideas and enhance their repertoir.  This in turn feeds out into the community via both their own dance classes and future performances locally.

Feedback from those who attended was very positive indeed, with many highlighting the ability to layer choreography and work closely with a new dance partner as a particular highlight of the event.

A telling comment was that for one practitioner, the class allowed them to "let go of original intentions/relationships to find unexpected/more exciting possibilities" which must surely be a sign of success in any creative event.
