Faultline GCSE Resources
Faultline is a set professional work on the AQA GCSE Dance Syllabus, and is also an ideal professional work for A-Level and BTEC students. Shobana Jeyasingh Dance has developed a comprehensive range of resources to support students and teachers alike, including the free GCSE Resource Pack. View the Faultline resources.
Workshops
Anything from a one-hour class to a full day workshop. Experience Jeyasingh’s work, which is contemporary in style but draws on many traditional forms and influences such as Ballet or Bharata Natyam, a centuries-old Asian classical dance form.
Workshops usually include a combined warm-up of contemporary and Bharata Natyam, learning repertory of our touring work and followed by choreographic tasks. However, the exact contents can be tailored to suit your needs.
Residencies
Students gain a deeper insight into the working methodologies and creative processes used by Shobana Jeyasingh. Residencies can be structured to suit your timetable either as intensive course or as regular contact over a longer period of time.
Master-classes
Aimed at professional dancers and those in full time dance training. These can be booked specifically for your education establishment or keep your eye on our website, facebook or twitter feed for master-classes in your area!
Company Class
During rehearsal periods we open selected company classes to dance professionals. Classes are led by our rehearsal director or guest teachers. If you are interested in attending please email your CV to Clare Cody-Richardson.
Mock Auditions
Want to prepare your students for the next step? Shobana Jeyasingh Dance can deliver mock auditions. The students will be led through the process of an audition, given advice and feedback to work on in order to improve their audition technique.
Curtain Raisers
Work with the Company over a number of days to create a short work to be shown before a performance by Shobana Jeyasingh Dance or as part of a youth dance festival. A wonderful opportunity for students to experience the whole process of choreography and performance with a professional company.
Work Experience and Internships
A fantastic way to learn how a professional touring company is managed and run! We welcome applications from GCSE students right through to PhD level. To express your interest contact Clare Cody-Richardson, stating the length of time required, department interested in working in and any academic requirements that you would like to address during your time as an Intern.
Open Technical Rehearsals
See what it’s like to be on tour! After an introduction to the Company, hear what it’s like on performance day, sit in on the sound check, and watch how the dancers prepare for performance. Then stay on and watch them all in action for the actual performance!
