Dance Talented Policy Yateley School Dance Department Policy for identifying and nurturing talent Introduction: This document has been produced by the HOD and will need to be updated and amended by the Dance staff. It includes a rationale, how talent is identified and how students talented can be developed in curriculum time and beyond the classroom. Rationale: Yateley School will have, at any time, a number of extremely able and/or talented students. Some of whom may perform at a level that well exceeds the level of others in their class o that expected for children in their age group. Aims: All class teachers to know who is ‘Gifted’ or ‘Talented’ in their class and provide suitable learning for them To ensure all talented dancers make progress in line with their starting point Identify talent as soon as possible and inform ENS (Gifted and Talented Coordinator) so that she can update her talented register Collate Talented register starting with Year 8,9+10 students from Sept 2017, then begin to collate year 7 students, (this should be completed by November) Create a climate of learning throughout curriculum and enrichment opportunities To establish more links in partnership with the wider community, professional artists and higher education institutes to enhance learning opportunities What are the indicators for identifying talent in dance? Students with talent in dance may show evidence of a particular ability in one or more of the following areas: Creating and composing: Respond imaginatively to a range of stimuli Experiment freely and confidently with movement and makes appropriate decisions on suitable choices of movement to suit style/theme Using space and relationships meaningfully, to express the intention of the dance idea Able to manipulate movement and show structure Enters choreographic competitions e.g. ‘Young Creative’s’ run by Youth Dance England Performing: Control and co-ordination of the body whilst successfully combining timing, action, spatial and dynamic content Expressing the meaning of the dance and or stylistic features of the dance style Strong performer/audience communication Responds to music with sensitivity and rhythmic awareness Performs outside of school in National Dance Competitions and/or County Youth Dance Groups Awarded with Distinction levels in ISTD, RAD etc examinations at Grade 6 and beyond Performs outside of school at a high level in Musicals, Pantomimes, County Dance Company etc Appreciating: Apply critical thinking to their own work and that of others, able to make constructive judgements to shape and develop their ideas NB: A Talented register list is kept centrally on X Drive in the Dance Section in a folder called Gifted and Talented. This is a list of students who demonstrate a talent in performing dance. It is expected that students should make 3 levels of progress between Year 7 to 11, G&T SHOULD BE 4! Catering for students that are ‘Gifted’: We aim to provide for those students who have identified as being gifted by: Developing an effective learning environment, where students feel supported and valued Teaching at a faster pace / greater depth / wider breadth Employing a range of questioning techniques (Blooms Taxonomy – Higher level or open ended questions) Differentiated homework (KS4) Individual target setting Curriculum planning (SOW) Organisational strategies, such as groupings, roles Catering for students that are ‘Talented’ in Dance: Classroom activities and resources provide opportunities for students to express and develop their special abilities. Tasks engage the students in creatively exploring and developing their own ideas • Lessons are effectively differentiated to ensure that different learning styles are catered for • Practical work is differentiated by outcome; giving students the opportunity to explore a wider range of skills, e.g. technical, expressive and mental skills. Tasks may be open ended • Student progression is monitored closely and in line with the school policy • A wide range of extension and enrichment activities are set, in and out of curriculum time Where finances allow, we organise Professional Dance Artists to work with GCSE and BTEC Dance classes to target talented dancers, as well as a fantastic opportunity for all to be inspired Schemes of work encourage students to take more ownership of choreographic developments and extend or make ‘set phrases’ more complex Enrichment… looking beyond the curriculum: A wide range of enrichment activities are made available or advertised in the Parents Bulletin to stimulate interest, challenge and inspire our talented students: Annual entry to Rock Challenge and have maintained ‘Premier’ league status since winning National Champions in 2015! Perform as Soloists in the House Dance Show Perform in the Main School Production if keen to pursue Performing Arts Invite students to attend ‘Masterclasses’ in Summer Term led by Ex-Students who are currently studying in Higher Education e.g. Bird College, Creative Academy, Urdang Academy Ensure students who have a keen interest to study dance at Higher education know about Scholarships and DADA Awards available to them e.g. 16-23 year olds who show talent and are likely to succeed in the industry The following schools offer DaDAs for the 2017 to 2018 academic year: https://www.gov.uk/dance-drama-awards ALRA (Academy of Live and Recorded Arts) Arts.Ed, London Bird College - Dance and Drama Theatre Performance Bodywork Company Elmhurst Ballet School English National Ballet School The Hammond School Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts Laine Theatre Arts Liverpool Theatre School Millennium Performing Arts Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts Northern Ballet School The Oxford School of Drama Performers College SLP College Leeds Stella Mann College Tring Park School for the Performing Arts Urdang Academy Inspire and encourage individuals to take on a CAT scheme (Centre for Advanced Training) Centre for Advanced Training https://www.nationaldancecats.co.uk/ Funded by the Department for Education Music and Dance Scheme, CATs exist to help identify, and assist, children with exceptional potential, regardless of their personal circumstances, to benefit from world-class specialist training as part of a broad and balanced education.

  • The Seven Ages of Musical Theatre: the Life Cycle of the Child Performer
    UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON The Seven Ages of Musical Theatre: The life cycle of the child performer by Lyndsay Barnbrook A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Humanities Faculty School of Music April 2016 \A person's a person, no matter how small." Dr. Seuss UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON Abstract Humanities Faculty School of Music Doctor of Philosophy The Seven Ages of Musical Theatre: The life cycle of the child performer by Lyndsay Barnbrook The purpose of the research reported here is to explore the part played by children in musical theatre. It aims to do this on two levels. It presents, for the first time, an historical analysis of involvement of children in theatre from its earliest beginnings to the current date. It is clear from this analysis that the role children played in the evolution of theatre has been both substantial and influential, with evidence of a number of recurring themes. Children have invariably made strong contributions in terms of music, dance and spectacle, and have been especially prominent in musical comedy. Playwrights have exploited precocity for comedic purposes, innocence to deliver difficult political messages in a way that is deemed acceptable by theatre audiences, and youth, recognising the emotional leverage to be obtained by appealing to more primitive instincts, notably sentimentality and, more contentiously, prurience. Every age has had its child prodigies and it is they who tend to make the headlines. However the influence of educators and entrepreneurs, artistically and commercially, is often underestimated. Although figures such as Wescott, Henslowe and Harris have been recognised by historians, some of the more recent architects of musical theatre, like Noreen Bush, are largely unheard of outside the theatre community.

  • Centre Stage the Pipeline of Bame Talent
    CENTRE STAGE THE PIPELINE OF BAME TALENT AndrewAndrew Lloyd Lloyd Webber Webber FoundationFoundation INTRODUCTION— hen I produced Bombay Dreams over a decade ago and was privileged Wto introduce the marvellous music of A R Rahman to a West End audience, one of our greatest difficulties was finding enough Asian actors. BAME diversity in the performing arts has once again been high on the agenda this year, from the runaway success of Hamilton on Broadway to the latest announcement from Arts Council England of £4.6 million to boost diversity. Very often the discussion is focussed on increasing the representation of diverse ethnicities on stage and this is crucially important. However, I’ve been acutely aware that one of the biggest issues is the lack of trained diverse talent coming through. Casting directors and theatre producers alike often complain that they’d like to cast more Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic performers but that they don’t get enough turning up to audition. Inspired by some of the success stories coming out of the Andrew Lloyd Webber Foundation’s scholarship programme – such as Emmanuel Kojo who is interviewed in these pages – the Foundation decided to commission this " I PASSIONATELY research. The aim was to come up with some positive recommendations that BELIEVE THAT can be adopted by people involved at every stage of the talent pipeline from THE STAGE NEEDS school to stage. TO REFLECT THE DIVERSITY OF THE UK I passionately believe that the stage needs to reflect the diversity of the POPULATION OR IT UK population or it risks becoming side-lined.
