BOP creates bespoke jazz dance and music arts programs designed specifically to work in conjunction with arts activities and programs already available to the student. Stand-alone vocational workshops, masteclasses and seminars are also available.
Over the years both Dollie and Paul have found that the immediacy of the improviser engages all students. It reinforces their creative self, develops a multitude of instrumental techniques, encourages and solidifies creative student collaboration and combines and supports a cross curricular approach.
BOP are unique in offering both dance and music workshops (both separately and together) that enable students to engage, participate and produce creative work of real value, inspired by the jazz tradition, it's journey and its legacy as a contemporary and relevant 21st Century art form.
