A Magical Ballet Experience: In-Deep’s Collaboration with the Westminster Foundation

In January, In-Deep were thrilled to share an enriching experience as part of our ongoing commitment to making the arts accessible to all. Thanks to a generous grant from the Westminster Foundation, we had the privilege of organising a special trip for 16 families to witness the mesmerizing performance of Matthew Bourne’s ‘Edward Scissorhands.’

This relaxed performance not only captivated audiences but also provided families, who often face financial constraints or unique needs, an opportunity to immerse themselves in the world of ballet. As one grateful family expressed, “Their child was mesmerised,” encapsulating the magic and transformative power of inclusive arts experiences.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Westminster Foundation for their invaluable support, enabling us to create memorable moments and break barriers to access within the arts community. Stay tuned for more updates on our upcoming initiatives and partnerships, as we continue to champion accessibility, creativity, and community engagement through the arts at In-Deep.

Disney Workshop

We ran our second arts based holiday workshop in the October half term 2023 for children with SEND. This years theme was Disney with our 3 – 10 year old group doing a little mermaid and our 11 – 18 year old group doing the lion king. They did a timetable of activities including art, dance, drama and music and a performance at the end. All of the sessions were run by experienced teachers and therapists with 100% positive feedback from parents and children. Thank you for the support from John Lyons Charity, Weil, Goshal Ltd and Francis Holland School for Girls.
