Education Department

Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo is developing a cultural education policy with teachers, students and artists based on a demanding multidisciplinary artistic practice.

THE OBJECTIVES

→ Help children to feel good in their bodies, to thrive with others: participate in their individual and social construction.

→ Teach children to decide, to act, to become independent, to gain confidence, to develop a sense of effort with enjoyment.

→ Promote children's cultural appetite by experimenting with “artistic emotion”.

THE PHILOSOPHY

Jean-Christophe Maillot is making available the entire cultural, human and technical heritage of the Monegasque company to deliver these artistic and cultural projects with schools in the Principality.

→ An Educational Team
Teachers registered in CHORE-VOIX education, classical dance teachers, former dancers of La Compagnie des Ballets de Monte-Carlo, choral conductors, authors (writing workshops)

→ An Artistic Team
Choreographer, musical director, writer, director, etc..

→ A Framework
Projects planned over a period (from 6 to 16 months) involving regular work (weekly workshops and courses). Spaces suited for practicing movement: Atelier des Ballets de Monte-Carlo, Diaghilev Dance Studio, Salle Garnier Opéra de Monte-Carlo, Salle Prince Pierre of the Grimaldi Forum Monaco

PROJECTS

BODY-MOVEMENT / BODY-VOCAL focused on artistic practice: project focused on the fundamentals of movement offered to all CE2 (Year 4) classes, to allow each child to access a demanding and fun artistic practice programme at some point in their school career.
 

Choreography-Vocals (CHORÉ-VOIX) focused on artistic creation: educational projects as part of the preparation and presentation of a creation, involving classes, students enrolled outside school hours, teachers in training.

Training of TRAINERS focused on artistic experience: train teachers in artistic practice so that they can pass that on to their students as part of CHORÉ-VOIX creations (16 months of training) or modules of 4 to 6 weekends of communication-oriented courses.
