Outreach, education and engagement work are intrinstic to the continued success of what we do. We are a company rooted in learning and have built a team of talented educators who thrive on inspiring others and giving back what skills we have.

Over the past five years, more than 12000 participants have engaged with our work from all ages and walks of life.

Through a series of company classes, open rehearsals, workshops, residences and discussions we have continually provided a variety of resources to inspire and educate audiences in the work we do.

ENGAGING WITH US

Engagement media

Community based groups and projects

We take active interest in engaging community based projects that allow us to meet and share our skills with as many different people as possible. Whilst this comes in the form of dance and theatre based practises, we know not all groups have exposure to this. Over the years, we have worked with a rich demographic of groups from across Europe. We would love to hear from you if you are interested in discussing community based groups and project work further.

Professional artists and graduates

Open morning professional class is regularly provided whilst the company are in rehearsals and on tour. From Dance City in England, Art Garage in Naples, Dance Base in Scotland and the Alfred ve Dvore in Prague - we have welcomed professional arts to join us for class and observation oppertunities.

For professional artists, students and graduates wanting to find out more, please contact us.

Post show discussions and our ‘open studio'

Sometimes audiences want to savour the magic of live performance and let their thoughts on what they have experienced swirl around quietly in their mind. Other times, audiences want to know what went into the creation of a piece of choreography, they want to share their thoughts or they may want to have direct communication with the artists to further understand a piece. Post show discussions allow this to happen. Whenever possible, we will commit to hosting a post show discussion to bridge the connections further between audiences and the work.

Residencies

Residencies with the company allow for a longer time period to work with us. Our residences are often used as a chance to create a piece of choreography with the groups we work with.

Students and youth work

We have worked with students, young dancers and communities across the UK and Europe. From community groups in Northumberland and primary schools in Teesside, to universities in Italy and Prague, we have engaged with students and people from all walks of life.

Prior to working with a group, we would have a conversation with each organisation or activity leader to ensure we are providing the most enriching experience for that particular bunch of individuals, focusing on age and ability, experience, time available, desired learning outcomes and the end product. This could be a piece of choreographed work (videos of which can be viewed below), the learning of repertoire or just a memorable and inspiring time with us.

Workshops

Workshops with The Palermitan offer participants the chance to engage with the company in the studio. These are often tailor-made to provide the best possible experience with each organisation we work with.
