Project Y SCREEN 2021
Project Y SCREEN is an exciting new programme offering young dancers aged 16 – 25 a unique experience to learn more about creating movement for camera and developing personal choreography skills in unique spaces.
Taking place from Monday 26th to Friday 30th July 2021, dancers will work online with Natalia Barua, a leading dance film maker in Scotland who will work collaboratively with the dancers to create an original dance film.
A typical Project Y SCREEN day will run from 10am -5pm. Each day dancers will take part in a technical warm up class followed by a range of creative and technical developmental sessions which will build movement for the dance film. There will be time to work with other dancers in duets and trios, as a whole group, and time programmed away from the screen for dancers to work independently before sharing back to the group. Project Y SCREEN will allow dancers from all over the UK to connect with like-minded passionate dancers to create, dance and have fun!

What are the benefits of Project Y SCREEN?
Project Y SCREEN will not only develop dancers technical and creative skills but will also ensure they have transferable skills to help them become industry ready.

What costs are involved?
The course fee for Project Y SCREEN is £150, but thanks to funding from the Leverhulme Trust all participants will be awarded a £75 grant towards the fee. Participants will therefore only be liable to pay £75.
