Hello there!
We are Hubbub
Theatre Company

We are an integrated ensemble of learning disabled
and non disabled performers who create engaging,
accessible physical theatre using movement and
original music to tell Human stories.

Kindness as a
Revolution

At Hubbub we believe that Kindness is an act
of revolution. In a time where people seem divided
and often put in a box, we believe that connection,
communication and acts of generosity and kindness
can make a difference on a personal, community
and global level. Our work is inspired by this.

The Drum

Hubbub’s latest project ‘The Drum’ is being developed
with Helen Baggett from Gecko Theatre and a fantastic
ensemble of performers and musicians. Exploring themes
of well-being on a personal, community and global
level, The Drum also has workshops that reach into
the community and bring people together.

The Drum is a physical show with few words and live music composed by Ines Sampaio Figuerido.

Working with Helen Baggett from the internationally acclaimed Gecko Theatre, and Chris Yarnell (The Outbound Project) and Laura Ryder (The B team) the Hubbub ensemble explore the story and messages through a range of movement and non-verbal story-telling devices.
Development came to a pause due to Lockdown and we held an online sharing event of the work so far.
On the panel we were delighted to welcome Helen Baggett, Sarah Brigham (Derby Theatre), Phil Hargreaves (Deda), Jen Sumner (Hubbub) and Izzy Noake (Hubbub), hosted by Hubbub Chair Clare Limb and attended by over 35 people from Arts Council, venues, universities and interested creatives and friends.
We also shared the development of The Hubbub Way, which is in the final stage of development.
Please visit our Latest News page to see this. We are adapting The Drum for outdoor performance and community engagement.

Hubbub At Home – Hubbub Theatre Company did not stop delivery during Lockdown.

Supported by Arts Council England, Foundation Derbyshire and Edward Gostling Foundation, Hubbub did not miss a week in moving our workshops and training online, creating Hubbub at Home.  It was a steep learning curve but we are proud to say we know that all of community are safe and well. 100% of trainee actors are still working with us online and 80% of The Hub.

Through weekly Zoom sessions, video tutorials and creative task setting we have continued to offer a high quality experience to our regular trainees and participants. We also adapted The Drum outreach workshops to video which you can see in Latest News.

Physical and emotional wellbeing is at the heart of what we do and our ongoing work has supported many individuals and families. One carer said ‘At the beginning of lockdown, everything stopped – the (Hubbub) team have been so creative, provided what has felt like a seamless service. A little miracle, in what has been a difficult time’

To find out more about what we have been doing , please visit Latest News or also look at our Social Media.

“Hubbub has brought me out of my shell. I love helping, especially with the workshops in schools. It has taught me a lot – to be more confident and more focused. My communication is a lot better than it was before.
I am proud of myself”
