The Hubbub Way, Development Training takes place in October

Bringing accessibility into your creative practice

The Hubbub Way is an innovative, established training programme, open to artists, teachers, students or practitioners who use movement, dance and theatre. It is designed to offer ways to bring accessibility into creative practice; and to guide and facilitate devising theatre and performance for people of all ages and abilities.

Led by Jen Sumner and The Company, Hubbub’s team of professional performers, 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 is a methodology of facilitating creative process and devising theatre for
people of all ages and abilities which has emerged from over 25 years of hands on practice in
creating with a diverse range of people. The robust methodology aims to give participants:

• An introduction to Hubbub’s method of co-creation, co-leadership, equity and kindness which is at the heart of all we do.
• Ways to improve their practice and create a more accessible environment.
• Skills to improve wellbeing for self and those they are working with
• Learn ways to communicate effectively to learning disabled, autistic and/or neurodivergent people in creative practice
• Learn skills on how to manage diverse groups in school & community settings

The Hubbub Way is endorsed by Derby Theatre, Derby University and Central School
of Speech and Drama as a model of best integrated practice.
