A schools' matinee of Darwin's Dream to be held at the Royal Albert Hall on 20th March 2006 with a series of related schools' workshops and a two week exhibition for the general public In order to maximise the potential of Darwin's Dream and to extend access to a further 1,500 school children and teachers, the Royal Albert Hall would like to make available a schools' matinee at the Hall. The Hall would also like to closely engage four schools from disadvantaged local areas, via a series of weekly half day workshops six weeks prior to the performances. Groups of 25-30 children in three of these schools will work with professional animators to develop the three interludes for both the matinee and evening performance at the Hall. The fourth school will devise additional music and drama for the Fanfare and Carnival and Big Bang sections. On each visit, two animators (including either a scientist, an artist/maker or a theatre director) will help the children understand the element of science that their interlude represents; work with them to create costumes/props; and help them prepare to stage their interlude. The project's Composer and Artistic Director, Graham Treacher will also visit each school to ensure that the children understand the full nature of the project, and have gained an understanding of evolution and natural selection. In order to extend the project to the general pubic, the Hall would also like to mount an exhibition in a main public foyer which would be viewed, not only by those attending both performances, but by the general public visiting the Hall in the two week period either side of the production.
