Programme T(a)DAH !

A project for neurodivergent children

Neurodivergence encompasses conditions such as autism, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), specific learning differences (“dys” disorders) and high intellectual potential.

During the 2024-2025 season, Le Palais royal began an educational project in partnership with the Écoles Walt in Paris and Levallois, which specialise in teaching adapted to neurodivergent pupils. The project aims to prepare the pupils to take part in the coup de foudre concert at the Cirque d’Hiver.

Musicians from Le Palais royal come into the school to run discovery and concert-preparation workshops in a personalised environment adapted to the children’s needs and pace. This preparation gives them the means to enjoy attending the concert and to take part through singing, dancing and percussion.

Struck by the enthusiasm, generosity and commitment of the children and teaching teams during the Mozart workshops in March 2025, Le Palais royal is continuing this project in March 2026 as part of its Vivaldi en piste concerts.

T(a)DAH — Vivaldi en piste au Cirque d'Hiver — On 19 March 2026, pupils from the Walt schools choreographed excerpts from Vivaldi’s *Winter*, as part of the *Vivaldi en piste* show at the Cirque d’Hiver.
