Workshops, classes & training

Participation is a core aspect of our work, connecting us to vibrant creative communities and shaping our ongoing research. We engage the body as an instrument of detail, defined by rigorous physicality, creative play, and close attention to human behaviour and exchange.

Our 
Story

WHAT WE DO

We tour internationally, offering dance and choreography workshops, sharing our company repertoire, and delivering immersive experiences that explore the fundamentals of the Hypha Method.

​​​

Shaped by a carefully embedded wellbeing practice, we extend our distinct vocabularies for storytelling across a range of creative communities, asking how contemporary dance might move beyond abstraction into exciting new realms of communication.

WELLBEING & MENTAL HEALTH

Nurturing and maintaining spaces of trust and safety is extremely important to us.

​

​Rooted in the long-standing mental health advocacy of our Artistic Director, Helen Calcutt, our practice is shaped by well-being frameworks carefully designed through ongoing partnerships with Brum Yodo, the Good Grief Festival, and Safe Hands Consultancy.

 

We establish a genuine culture of care across all our internal structures, which directly feeds into our educational and learning environments

​​

Whether participants, facilitators, performers, partners, or crew, we empower people with adaptable, life-long self-care and skills that can be used within the creative space and beyond, into their daily lives.

Hypha & Neurodiversity 

AN OPEN CALL...

​

We’re currently researching something we’re seeing through Hypha: how a physical relationship with words can make text feel more accessible, exciting and alive for neurodivergent artists, including those with dyslexia.

​

We’re reaching out to connect with students, dancers, educators and academic institutions interested in exploring this research with us.

​

Please get in touch to find out more!
