Professional training & workshops
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.

Story
WHAT WE DO
We tour nationally, sharing our company repertoire, teaching professional classes and revealing the fundamentals of the Hypha Method.

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, and are keen to develop research partnerships and funded collaborations.
​
More details coming soon!
