TIN Arts have been delivering in schools since 1999 and have an extensive knowledge of how to deliver high quality, creative programmes for pre-school, primary and secondary school environ-ments. Over the past eleven years TIN Arts have specialised in delivering dance workshops and programmes throughout the region within primary, secondary and special schools as well as colleges, youth clubs and community centres. Some of our events include: - Queens Visit, Mini Commonwealth Games, Dance & Literacy, Plug & Play, Shimmy & Shake, Evolve, Elements, and the County Durham Youth Dance Programme. We have built strong working relationships with key partners such as Dance City, the regional dance agency, and Arts Educations Agencies including The Forge and Tees Valley Arts. We have also worked on Government lead initiatives such as Arts are Ours, Creative Partnerships, Cultural Hubs, Find Your Talent, as well as the Department for Education & Skills’ Music and Dance Scheme. These initiatives have lead to building extraordinary links with schools and communities. Teachers feel they have access to their own dance artist who not only visits the school to deliver regular workshops, but also is someone the teachers can call upon as a resource. The Co-Directors have over 25 years of experience between them, leading and creating participatory movement-based programmes. They regularly lead the training of all TIN’s artists developing each artists individual skills and the company’s methods of delivery. Our artists are creative thinkers with strong facilitation skills and are not afraid to take creative risks. Our artists have a vast range of experience of working at the highest level in participatory arts and take great pride in their work. They are reliable, easy to work with and pay attention to the smallest of details. All staff employed by TIN Arts have undergone safeguarding training, regularly attend Health and Safety team meetings and adhere to the TIN Arts Child Protection Policy. All TIN Arts staff have a current Enhanced CRB, and carry Public Liability Insurance to the value of £5 million. “I think the skills that all the artists bring to each programme makes TIN Arts different to other or-ganisations. TIN Arts staff are committed to working at the highest level and want to provide the best experience possible”
