Cheshire Dance are excited to be holding and facilitating our CPD ‘Introduction to Dance with People with PMLD’ for Frozen Light Theatre in Norwich.
This one day professional development workshop shares our approaches to dancing one to one with people with PMLD.
People with Profound and multiple learning disabilities are non-verbal, sensory specialists with idiosyncratic communication styles. As movement artists and creative practitioners we have much to learn from them on sensory being, intention and communication. Dance Artists Ruth Spencer and Jane McLean facilitate one to one dancing experiences with people with PMLD through Wanna Dance? Dance Artist in Residency Programmes in Cheshire West as part of the Cheshire Dance programme.
In this one day professional development workshop they will share some of their approaches to dancing one to one with people with PMLD. They will introduce the Wanna Dance? programme, share some of the underpinning research and processes and explore practical ways into one-to-one movement-based interactions and dancing with people with PMLD.
By artists for artists, this day aims to bring together artists working with or, with an interest in working with, people with PMLD to share approaches, knowledge and resources to enrich creative dance and movement experiences with people with PMLD. Together we will explore, question, develop and inspire our practice – and each other – to ensure all people with PMLD can have opportunities to experience dance and movement.

Cheshire Dance has an established and growing specialism in developing dance opportunities with and for people with learning disabilities and people with Profound Intellectual and Multiple Disabilities (PIMD).
The Wanna Dance? programme sees service users of Vivo Care Choices with profound and complex disabilities take part in one-to-one face to face sessions with Cheshire Dance artists to explore how they might like to dance.
