momentum Events
Sheffield, Lyceum Theatre &
Winter Gardens:
30 September, 2008
The new building will make an enormous impact on all regions of Yorkshire not
just Leeds where the building will be located. Northern Ballet Theatre supporter
and respected South Yorkshire business woman Julie Kenny showed her support for
the project by organising a momentum reception in Sheffield.
Key members of the South Yorkshire community enjoyed refreshments at the Winter Gardens
in central Sheffield where they heard more about the project from NBT Chief Executive Mark
Skipper. Guests included the High Sherriff, the Lord Lieutenant and the Earl and Countess
of Scarborough.
Julie, of Rotherham based Pyronix Ltd, spoke passionately about what the building would
mean for young people in deprived areas of South Yorkshire who thought that professional
dance was beyond their reach. The creation of the centre of excellence will mean that many
more people in the north of England will have the chance to enjoy, understand and participate
in dance.
