Chantry takes full length pieces or excerpts from our repertoire to those who would not usually be able to attend the theatre - for example the elderly and the sick. It is our aim to bring dance into whatever space may be available, and to adapt our performances to non-conventional venues such as care or nursing homes and prisons. We also deliver workshops and participatory dance experiences for this target clientele.
"Wow! Thank you so much Paul and Rae for the most amazing performance for the pupils and staff at the QMC Hospital School this morning. We were blown away with your professionalism with our sick youngsters and they thoroughly enjoyed being your 'Choreographers'! We are already looking forward to your return in September. Keep up this wonderful work!"
