Outreach
Consistent with our mission, COYB helps to incorporate key assets into the lives of our dancers. We also believe in exposing and educating young people to the benefits of participation in dance and ballet through outreach performances.
Three formats are offered for COYB outreach performances. All range from approximately 30 to 90 minutes in length and are tailored to the needs of the organizations that engages us.
lecture- demonstration
A lecture-demonstration showcases dance selections while providing commentary on the benefits of dance terminology, technique, and history. These engaging "informances" allow audiences to observe various elements of ballet, performed by COYB company dancers with by insights from the artistic team.
mini-performance
A mini-performance aims to enrich audiences by allowing the dance to convey its message on its own. This format is suitable for a diverse range of events and venues. Peter and the Wolf, featuring distinct characters linked to musical instruments, is particularly suited to this type of outreach.
interactive outreach
An interactive outreach format blends elements of a mini-performance with aspects of a lecture-demonstration, while also asking for audience participation.
