UNITED LEARNING: AcT

United Learning is a group of independent schools and academies which aims to provide excellent education to children and young people across the country.

With funding from the Andrew Lloyd Weber Foundation, in 2018 United Learning collaborated with BalletBoyz as part of their Access to Theatre - AcT project. Bringing together teachers, students and our dancers, the project was designed to widen access to professional performance and broaden the cultural experiences of young people in United Learning schools. 

Performing Arts teachers attended Continuing Professioanal Development sessions led by BalletBoyz dancers, Edward Pearce and Matthew Sandiford, followed by students taking part in workshops in their schools, with BalletBoyz dancers. The project culminated with collaborative showcase events for students in Manchester at The Dance House, and in London at Stratford Circus.
