JABADAO
A bit more about us
JABADAO began back in 1985, looking for a different way for dancers to contribute. Not in studios, or theatres. Not teaching dance technique in unusual places. But taking a way of thinking, (body as our first home, movement as our first language), and applying it to care work, social work, health work and education. Then, and now, we're interested in radical ways forward. In culture change. In embodied living being part of the everyday. And in this beautiful body we live in.
Every body.
The Team
Our Base
Movement Play workshops at the JABADAO base
In different times we run Movement Play workshops at our base in Brantham, Suffolk. There will be a time when we do this again.
Meanwhile, here are some photos of previous sessions.
We've chosen to highlight physical closeness, physical larking about, ease in the body ... things that might feel a bit distant at the moment. But we will have them again one day.

Training Space
We have a delightful, small training space where we run courses on Developmental Movement Play, Meeting Beyond Words & Read and Talk Body.
None at the moment - but details of courses will appear here when we can run them again.
Costume and Prop Hire
We have a selection of tails, top hats, ballroom dresses, boas, pirate outfits ... plus bubble machines, fans, silk play parachutes, play scarves, and lycra play fabrics that we can hire out. Email first - and ask about our selection.
Then come and visit if we can be useful.
