Ascendance Reps outreach programme aims to attract people from diverse backgrounds and
explore company repertoire, creative techniques and the spaces in which
they work, often culminating in end performances at site-specific spaces
and theatre venues. Workshops and residencies can be tailored to the
specific requirements of your group or curriculum. All workshops are
delivered from a committed team of dance professionals who have
a wealth of experience as dancers, teachers and choreographers.

Each piece within the show uses a very different style of dance and is ideal to study as part of the dance curriculum. The work ranges from abstract classical contemporary dance, humorous narrative based works and physical theatre. |
