LEARNING
LYNNEBEC are experienced producers and facilitators. Whether it's devising a workshop, co-creating with young people or community groups, our approach is collaborative, inclusive and centred around care. We work across two strands: education and public engagement.
WORKSHOPS
Our workshops focus on: dance, teaching science through dance, physical theatre, developing ensemble based work.
We love creating interactive dance adventures and workshops and have now created a total of 9 for a variety of partners and commissioners.
In 2020, we were awarded Emergency Arts Council Funding to create AlgoRHYTM From Home, an interactive dance and science series that took place on Zoom. This series created a foundation for our workshops where we aim to include:
- An educational element/learning tool to encourage kinaesthetic learners
- Confidence and mood boosting
- Suitable for all abilities, ensuring we adapt for disabled and non-disabled audiences

Audience Feedback
"Made me feel really comfortable in just letting go and enjoying it (and I’m not a natural
dancer)! It felt like a really safe space.”
“Fun, active, totally different.”
PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT
Whether it's developing ideas for events, workshops or long term projects LYNNEBEC's approach is led by creativity and collaboration.

Our partners have included The Barber Institute of Fine Arts, The Lapworth Museum of Geology, IMSR (Institute of Metabolism and Systems Research), University of Birmingham Public Engagement and Oxford Brookes University.
