Academies
Our Academies are legendary – at least we think so!
We run a weekly Academy offering creative workshops focused on all aspects of performance making for unusual settings, indoors and out.
Experimenting, collaborating and problem-solving lie at the heart of each Academy, along with plenty of daft challenges and performance opportunities.
Everyone is welcome: dancers, skate-boarders, parkour-lovers, musicians, singers, photographers, inventors, story tellers, fixers, dreamers or just the curious.

“There’s a glimpse of the wisdom of the child and the innocence in the adult. And there is so much joy”
Charlie Morrissey
Academy Workshop Leader
Summer Academy
Every few years, we open up a Summer Academy. Spread over three glorious days, kids are given the chance to fall in love with new skills, each other and their surroundings.
From circus tents to walled gardens, cellars to churchyards, each Academy inhabits spaces full of potential.
2018 Academy
In 2018, we asked the National Youth Dance Company to join our Summer Academy at New Place in Porlock. Here’s what happened.
