Outside

• A collaboration between Rambert Dance Company and
  The Royal Parks.
• The aim was to encourage young people to
  participate in a creative dance activity outside
  and to learn to appreciate their local
  environment.
• The project was targeted at young people aged 12
  to 16 years, actually we attracted a slightly
  younger group aged 9 to 15.
• The project brought dance to several outside
  spaces The Hub, The Bandstand and Queen Marys
  Gardens.
• The Wild In the Parks Team led wildlife
  orienteering and observation sessions which also
  inspired the work.
