Visual Arts Workshop - The world of ballet and theatre is a magical place of visual art. It is like a living painting filled with living sculptures. During Fonteyn Celebration Week each year, the public is invited to learn a new visual art technique from our International Director of Visual Arts. You will learn the technique and then with it, create an original work of art you can display in your home, or give as a gift to a loved one.

Dramatic Arts Workshop - Classical ballets, often called "Story Ballets," present a full dramatic performance. They have iconic and memorable characters and tell age old stories like Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty. Fonteyn was celebrated as a powerful dramatic actress with a brilliant ability to bring these stories to life through her dancing. And so, each year MFAB presents a Dramatic Arts Workshop. In ballet, acting is called Pantomime and a workshop will include acted scenes from different ballets. This is fun for the whole family, from the very young to grandparents.
