Project Volume learning-disabled dancers research
The company Project Volume has been set up to address the gaps in training for learning-disabled dancers and to extend cultural access.
We are currently working on a funding bid (deadline end of March) with the company Corali. The bid is to begin to address gaps in the provision of cultural leadership skills.
One aspect, which could be of interest and relevance to young learning-disabled dancers, relates to choreography.
We are looking at the training of creating 'visual scores' so that learning-disabled dancers/choreographers can express and translate their ideas onto paper and therefore learn greater skills in leading and directing their own work, through supporting their ideas visually with the people they are working with.
We are currently looking to evidence the demand for this. If you work with young people with learning disabilities, please ask some of your dancers whether learning these skills would help them direct their creative ideas and let us know what they say!
If you are interested in being involved in this research, please contact Susan Norwood at:
