A revamped reception area will enable the RNZB to ‘open up’. We envisage a year-round programme of dance activities, engaging the community at our home. The studios will provide an ideal central city space for community groups, public lectures, dance events, up-close-personal performances for small audiences allowing people to maximise creativity in an inspiring space. With upgraded facilities, we can do more for the community and broaden our touring education offering nationally.
