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’.
Led by Jen Sumner and Hubbub’s team of professional performers, ‘The Company’, the two-day training offers participants ways to improve their inclusive practice and the skills to communicate effectively to learning disabled, autistic and/or neurodivergent people. The Hubbub Way training dates are 15th & 16th October 2026. For more information or to submit an expression of interest, see hubbubtheatre.org/hubbub-way-intro.
