Delivered by Pell Ensemble UK
In 2022, we are supporting Pell Ensemble’s Digital Leap project through our Connecting People and Places Fund’s Collaborative Commissions 2022, co-funded by City of London as part of our Foundations Programme.
This pioneering weeklong summer programme ‘Digital Leap’ aims to inspire female identifying students to take the jump into a creative digital world.
These commissions will unlock further understanding on how creativity can be used to deliver arts, education, employment programming that provides creative learning opportunities, employment and leadership roles, training and fusion skills development.
They also share a commitment to developing equity in their project’s design and delivery, supporting underrepresented people’s ideas and visibility.

This pioneering weeklong summer programme ‘Digital Leap’ aims to inspire female identifying students to take the jump into a creative digital world.
Combining Pell Ensemble’s unique teaching style of movement, programming and physical computing, participants will work together to build an interactive digital dance performance
based on the theme ‘Future Worlds’. This will be inspired by the United Nations Global Goals for 2030 with the performance shared at the East Summer School Festival. Aimed at students ages 12-14, this programme will generate excitement, build confidence and introduce skills, encouraging students to move forwards with a career in computing and or the creative digital industries.
In Summer 2022, we will pilot this programme with 30 students from East London as part of the East Summer School programme with support from Foundation for Future London’s Connecting People & Places Fund’s Collaborative Commissions 2022.
Student places on the programme are free. Each day includes at least 60 minutes each of dance, computing and design. Alongside this female identifying speakers with careers in creative technologies will speak about their experience in the field and free lunches will be provided.
