Dance Practice CPD Training with Usha Mahenthiralingam
Deadline: 15 September 2026
In September, Usha Mahenthiralingam presents a session called ‘Body as Home, Body as Compass’ which explores movement, embodiment and Creative Wellbeing. In this experiential workshop, interdisciplinary artist and somatic movement practitioner Usha offers a hands-on exploration of how simple movement patterns can support our structural awareness, regulate nervous systems and nourish our capacity to learn, create, and connect.

Hubbub Theatre in Derby continues their movement-based inclusive Dance Development activity with Continual Professional Development Training sessions for dance and movement artists, training professionals or students at the Chapel Street venue in September and October.

Hubbub’s Dance Development Project aims to support professional dance and movement artists in developing their inclusive practice and develop diverse leadership. Following successful grant funding from Arts Council England, a Small Arts Grant from Derby City Council and contributions from other local partners, Hubbub’s Dance Development Project also includes bursaries, artists residencies and performance events. CPD Training sessions have already taken place with Debi Hedderwick, Sara Rose and Jen Sumner; and conclude with two inclusive practice sessions from Usha Mahenthiralingam and Kim Bormann, as well as a chance to join Hubbub’s unique training methodology ‘The Hubbub Way’.

Usha Mahenthiralingam ‘Body as Home, Body as Compass’ takes place on 15th September from 10am to 4:30pm. The full day session is £50 per person, with concessions available. Drawing on her practice in somatics, developmental movement and work as a creative mentor with children and communities in primary health and education; Usha includes movement, creativity and a light touch of neuroscience in an accessible, inclusive session designed for creatives, therapists, educators, health, social care professionals and anyone interested in this field of study.
