Achievements and perfomiance
Ex
iv
mm
For Ballet Cymru, like everyone in the creative industries, 2020-21 was a very tough year. The combination of
Brexit and the Covid-19 Pandemic meant hard decisions and large cuts in earned income.
Ballgt Cymru's priority over this tim& has beèn to remain stablo as an organisation, whilo at tha samg
time helping as mu¢h as possible its large cohort of freelance dancers. designers. technicians, and
tutors. In this, the company have been very successful.
There is no doubl that being Arts Portfolio Wales clients of the Arts Council of Wales has been central in being
able lo maintain OLJr core activities and pay our five PAYE staff. Over this period Ballet Cymru did not have to
furlough any staff and has maintained ils premises and studios.
More than that, this has meant that throughout the year Ballet Cymru were able to adapt, offer work online and
Zoom support lo its 100's of professionsl dancers, young professional dancers and associates. Working to
help and maintain ils core stakeholders.
Ballet Cymru is very proud that il responded quickly and continued lo support its Paul Hamtyn Foundation
Funded Duets students, who potentially could be most vulnerable during the exceptional year.
The Company delivered a record-breaking Summer Dan￿ programme, all on Zoom, with participants from all
over the world, generating £3k in income.
Closure of theatres meant the can￿lIatIOn of the entire year of touring. lack of studio hire and cancelled
education work resulted in lost income estimated al £180k. This income would usually be used lo engage
dan￿rS and technicians lo tour, so again the freelancers were the hardest hil by the closures and inability to
tour.
Three Arts Council of Wales Covid-19 Relief Grants have been vital in helping mitigate this and have offered
the freelance dancers substsnlial creative work, helping them lo maintain their fitness and artistry. Ballet
Cymru worked with choreographer Marcus Jarrell Willis in various slates of Covid-19 restrictions, for bNo Arts
Council of Wales funded projects and prodU￿d exceptional digitsl work that will be premiered on our new
website in 2021.
It also enabled the Company to transform one of ils unused spa￿$ into a new dan￿ studio allowing greater
social distancing for more people. The freelance company dan￿[5 also created beautiful and haunting
lockdown work. which will also be shi)wcased on Ballet Cymru's website.
Ballet Cymru also received significant funding from the Garfield Weston Foundation lo build news ways of
working through an online Digitsl Stage. That work will continue into 2022 and beyond.

there is a legally enforceable right lo sel off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a
nel basis or lo realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

transaction price including Ir8nsaclion costs and are subsequently carried al amortised cost using the
effective interest method unless the arrangement conslitules a financing Iransaclion, where the transaction
is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rale of interest. Financial
assets classified as re￿Ivable within one year are not amortised.
Dere¢ognltlon of flnanclal assets
