TEACHING & LEADERSHIP

PROFESSIONAL CLASS

Helen leads professional class across the U.K. and internationally, exploring technique, flow, and rhythmic detail alongside core elements of cross-disciplinary practice, including voice and text.

She facilitates professional engagement for Brum Pro Class, Drift Pro Dance, Tripspace (London) MAC Birmingham, the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire of Acting, NYCD (Northern School of Contemporary Dance), The Place (London), Candela Fina, and stand-alone workshops and/or masterclasses for many Universities across the region including the University of Bolton, University of Wolverhampton, Birmingham University, University Centre Leeds, and others.

COMMUNITY

Helen’s community practice deepens her ethos of dance as a vital form of connection and communication.

Working with people aged 3–90 across a rich variety of settings, her approach emphasises connection—to the body, to breath, and to lived experience. She has lead spaces that hold learning and making for MAC Birmingham, FABRIC Dance, the Birmingham Opera Company, Autin Dance Theatre, The Middle Floor, The Birmingham Hippodrome, the Southbank Centre and others. She is one of the 10 founding directors of Dance Co-Operative Birmingham.

Whether working with new learners, or established artists, Helen encourages participants to move with authenticity, fostering environments rooted in nourishment, safety, and trust.
