Inclusive Practice CPD Workshop
​​A practical, immersive training session designed for those working with neurodivergent and disabled young people in creative settings. This half-day workshop explores inclusive facilitation, sensory engagement, and the use of props, movement, and intensive interaction techniques. Participants will gain hands-on experience and leave with practical tools to support accessible, child-centred creative spaces. The training can be paired with the delivery of a live sensory movement workshop, offering further insight through real-time experience. Jess will introduce a range of creative access supports. Ideal for facilitators and staff in theatres, libraries, and cultural venues
Make Your Move – Workshop Residency for Special Schools
Jess Rowell Dance offers an immersive, creative movement residency designed specifically for students & teachers in special schools. Delivered over the course of up to a month, this programme supports students through joyful, sensory-rich creative dance sessions that explore movement, music, and imagination. Each session fosters connection, curiosity, and confidence, using accessible themes and props to engage every child in their own unique way. Teachers are supported throughout and receive a tailored CPD resource manual at the end, empowering them to continue delivering and expanding the sessions after the residency ends. Make Your Move is a lasting toolkit for movement and creativity in the classroom with links to the curriculum.
Sensory Movement Workshops
Sensory friendly dance and music adventures designed for children & young people with mild to complex needs and their family members. The immersive, interactive and responsive nature of these workshops encourages participants to engage and explore in their own unique way. The group will be introduced to a series of themes and a range of movements, accompanied by rhythms and appropriate props to enhance the sensory experience.

Our group capacity is kept small to enable deeper engagement for all participants. Workshop duration is tailored to meet the needs of each individual group.
