WHAT do to the
dancers of the Royal New Zealand Ballet do to prepare for a
new production? How old are the dancers? How many hours do
they dance each day?
The Royal New Zealand Ballet’s A
Day in the Life event is a chance to find out the answers to
everything you want to know about what it’s like to be a
dancer in New Zealand’s national ballet company.
An
event for the whole family, we invite you to take a peek
behind the scenes with us at this free event to be held at
Te Marae at Te Papa on Sunday 18 July.
The day offers a
chance to not only ask questions but also:
- Watch
dancers taking a class and gain a rare insight into their
daily training schedule-
- Listen to former dancer and
current Ballet Mistress, Turid Revfeim, give an insight into
the Royal New Zealand Ballet
ATTENTION KIDS: Between 1.30pm – 2pm you’ll be able to participate in a fun-filled workshop taken by one of our Dance Explorer educators. Learn some basic steps from our favourite ballets and how to act like our favourite characters.
