For the past 30 years, Royston Maldoom has been the initiator and leader of numerous dance projects around the world. His work was especially honoured with the project “Rhythm is it”- where 250 kids danced Stravinsky’s "The Rite of Spring", with Simon Rattle and the Berlin Philharmonic

Maldoom initially studied agriculture, but his passion for dance was ignited, after seeing a movie of the Royal Ballet. Although already in his twenties, he immediately joined a local Cambridge dance school and scholarships made his professional training and further education at special dance academies possible. These included the Stella Mann School, London School of Contemporary Dance and the Royal Ballet School where he was an apprentice choreographer.

Engagements for choreographic projects, workshops and speeches have brought him to institutions and initiatives worldwide. In this week’s Inspired Minds, Royston Maldoom talks to Breandáin O’Shea about these special dance projects, his ideas about what dance can do for kids and these projects might achieve in the long term.
