Inspiring cultural confidence

Trinity Laban aspires to foster a culture that values and encourages students and staff as a community. We are dedicated to pushing the boundaries of learning and teaching. We want to create an environment that values creativity, individuality and diversity, and originality in thought and practice. We aim to provide educational experiences that understand the future needs of both the performing arts ecology and graduate aspirations alongside their place in wider society, embedding the values and educational mission of our conservatoire in all our acitivities.

Staff

Trinity Laban’s roster of teaching staff is made up of highly respected musicians and dance artists, including performers, composers and choreographers, principals from the UK’s major orchestras, chamber and jazz ensembles, renowned soloists and musical theatre practitioners. Many are also active researchers whose work pushes at the boundaries of their art forms and extends the understanding of artistic and pedagogic practices. This ensures that Trinity Laban remains at the forefront of developments in the education of professional dance artists and musicians.

The experience of being taught by, meeting and watching people who are artistic leaders in their field is motivating and inspiring, setting a standard for our students’ aspirations.
