Schools

Corali has over 30 years’ experience of delivering creative workshops in school and college settings, as well as in partnership with some of the UK’s highest profile arts institutions, such as Tate, The British Museum and Sadler’s Wells. 

Our aim is to offer meaningful personal and creative development opportunities for children, young people and adults with a learning disability. We also want to build long-term links with school, community and arts partners that encourage exciting cross-sector collaboration. 

What can you expect from a Corali workshop?

At Corali we use objects, film, drawing and music as a stimulus to open up dance in new ways and creatively explore its relationship to line, shape, colour and sound. We believe this approach unlocks creativity and empowers workshop participants to make their own artistic choices and connect to other people in new ways. 

Workshops are led 
collaboratively by an integrated team of Corali artists, which includes our
 dancers with a learning disability. This way of working provides positive role models, new approaches to teamwork, and allows you to work first-hand with Corali’s talented dancers. 

Our model for workshops is very versatile and can be adapted to suit a variety of different age groups and abilities. We are also happy to respond to a brief or specific theme. For example, previous successful community projects have explored themes such as personal identity, the seasons, star constellations and even TV comedy classics! - presenting the ideas in new and accessible ways.
