SCHOOL PROGRAMMES

SCHOOL PROGRAMMES (6-16 years)

Danish Dance Theatre develops and offers various school programmes for both primary and secondary levels, each linked to one of the company’s productions. All programmes culminate in a shared theatre visit to experience the full performance live.

Aims of the programmes:

• To stimulate a new understanding of and interest in dance as an art form
• To let students experience themselves and with each other in new ways
• To foster a joy of movement and a positive relationship with one’s body and its strengths
• To support self-esteem, confidence, and a sense of community through dance, including collaboration skills
• To create understanding for the value of one’s own and others’ creativity and ideas
• To help students experience their bodies as in new creative ways

DRIP TEKHNE School Programme (Grades 7–9):
This season, Dansk Danseteater offers four creative dance programmes based on the acclaimed performance Drip Tekhne – The Evolution of Movement, which participating classes will see at Teater Republique in Copenhagen.

This programme is part of the pilot project Dance Communities in the City of Copenhagen, in partnership with Dansehallerne and Dansekapellet.

The course introduces students to dance and movement as an art form with an emphasis on joy of movement, creativity, collaboration, bodily communication, and musicality.
Drawing from the content of Drip Tekhne – the Evolution of Movement, students will take part in adapted and varied teaching including physical exercises, creative games, choreographic tasks, and supportive visual and textual materials. They will build a shared foundation from which they can develop their own ideas and collaboratively create dance scenes.

The programme is led by two experienced dance educators from Dansk Danseteater who are trained to create safe and inclusive spaces where all students can meet dance in their own way—without fear of being exposed or judged. The focus is on process, not product.
