Consult

We're always interested in collaborating on projects in multiple dimensions - particularly intervening in complex and dynamic situations and scenarios, where listening is crucial:

• Staff Development & Training
• Launch Events

• Production Logisitcs & Parameters
• Health & Safety Issues

• Community Development Projects
• Project Management

• Choreographic Dynamics
• Dramaturgy & Clowning

Project Management

The ICD has extensive project management skills to draw upon. From risk assessments to town centre management negotiations, site assessment to budget precision, the ICD relishes the task of making extraordinary things happen in un/expected places.

Education

The ICD has worked in numerous educational contexts with all age ranges and abilities. Past collaborations include: Croydon Clocktower, Wakefield Theatre Royal, RSAMD, Thomas Danby College (Leeds), Musical Arc, Hemsworth Arts & Community College and Goole Youth Theatre.

ICD involvement ranges from one-off workshops to year long strategic programming.
