EVOLVE London #2
EVOLVE London takes place at the Royal Opera House
On Sunday 11th October we were delighted to be joined by 36 dancers at the Royal Opera House for EVOLVE London, delivered in partnership with DCD Contributing Company The Royal Ballet.
Watch the film by DCD supported dancer Daniel Jones.
Our landmark fifth EVOLVE workshop saw DCD Retrained Dancers Jaimie Persson and Jonathan Goddard sharing their stories and experiences to a group of dancers who represented almost all corners of the sector - from classical ballet and contemporary artists to musical theatre and commercial dancers.
EVOLVE is a full day workshop developed especially for professional dancers to:
- Think and talk about the journey of a dancer's career with like-minded people
- Be inspired by real life stories from DCD Retrained Dancers - this London workshop heard stories from Jaimie Tapper and Jonathan Goddard. Find out more about our speakers here.
- Reflect on your own achievements and strengths
- Get the tools to develop your own personal action plan and discover your potential
- Learn how to manage a lifelong career beyond performance
- Feel supported and expand your network
Facilitated by Isabel Mortimer, DCD Director of Coaching and former professional dancer.
Our next EVOLVE workshop will be announced shortly, so watch this space!
Our thanks go to all our valued supporters of the EVOLVE project.
