Synergy RE Dance™ Outreach Workshops for National Curriculum classes

Synergy explores religions through dance and art and provides workshops to enhance the RE curriculum – for example dance workshops based around Bible stories and parables to help children to understand and explore messages in the Bible. We also explore religions via the crossover between art and dance in our RE workshops. For example, using art to illustrate the Bible and ‘drawing in dance workshops’ to enhance creativity and keep it fun.

Our practical workshops explore Bible themes which may otherwise be challenging for younger children to digest or understand. Whether Church of England syllabus or Catholic ‘Come and See’, we can arrange a bespoke, tailored package for each school. We have found that ‘getting up on our feet’ is a brilliant way for children to explore religion in a fun and accessible way. These sessions can lead to quite profound observations from the children and a deeper understanding of ‘What would Jesus do?’ and ‘Why?’.
