We’re Heading to the Music and Drama Education Expo!
Music & Drama Education Expo 2026
📅 12th–13th February 2026
📍 Business Design Centre, London
🎟 Free to attend – registration required
This year marks our first ever appearance at the Music and Drama Education Expo and we couldn’t be more excited to share our work! The Expo is a brilliant opportunity to connect with teachers, artists and creative practitioners from across the UK who share our passion for physical theatre and creative education. It’s a chance to exchange ideas, learn from others and celebrate how imaginative, movement-based approaches can enrich both teaching and performance. We’re especially looking forward to meeting educators who already use our work in the classroom and to exploring new ways we can support and collaborate with the wider theatre education community.
Find us at the Expo
📍 Main Exhibition – Stand C7 (both days)
