The Central Performer

Learning through performance

Central aims to get all of its students on stage as much as possible. The experience of performing to real audiences as a Central student will help bring artistry and expression into your dance technique.

Annual Performances

Each year Central students learn through the following performances:

• Ballet Central Tour – A national tour with up to 30 performances by all third year students
• Design for Dance – a design collaboration between students from Central Saint Martin’s College of Art and our second year students to choreograph, produce and perform at the Cochrane Theatre
• The Philip Lawrence Awards – students from all years perform and choreograph at the ceremony
• End of Year Performances – a week-long residency at The Unicorn Theatre in London to showcase the students achievements

• The Critics Circle Awards
• The Young British Dancer of the Year
• Move It Dance London exhibition
