Primary Bank is Siobhan Davies Dance's project for primary schools, replicating Siobhan Davies’ choreographic method, which is driven by a process of intelligent questioning and enquiry. Primary Bank was launched in September 2007 with pupils from Charlotte Sharman Primary School.
“The Primary Bank project was a unique and special experience that the children and adults involved will cherish.” Adam Graham – year 5 teacher
Throughout the project pupils explored ways to express their responses to their local environment through dance and by using a range of art forms such as sculpture, architecture, creative play, exhibition work, set design, philosophy, photography and music.

Siobhan Davies Dance has worked with several other primary schools in the area through partnership projects with Creative Partnerships and Southwark Council, linked to the regeneration of Elephant and Castle.
