Inspiring conversation with Jen Summer, Artistic Director of Hubbub Theatre Company. Jen’s practice alongside learning disabled actors/participants has cultivated a methodology known as ‘The Hubbub Way’. Jen explains that ‘the Hubbub way has become a language and a philosophy’. We discussed how the company devise and create performance exploring ‘the space in-between’. Approaches to co-creating with Learning Disabled Actors and the companies growth.
Over the course of the episode we discussed:
· A brief overview of Hubbub as a company
· Recruiting / Working with Learning Disabled Actors
