Helen started dancing at the Judy Tompsett School of Dance, and went on to complete her training at Bird College of Dance and Theatre Performance. Her performance career has spanned the commercial and contemporary dance theatre sector in the UK and Europe in contexts ranging from musical theatre to film, contemporary dance performance to casino productions. 

 

Helen worked for Ludus Dance from 2009-2011 where she was responsible for the development, management and delivery of a wide range of community dance activity across Lancashire. Here she discovered a keen interest in inclusive practice and working with people with a range of abilities and different health conditions. Between 2014 and 2018 she worked with English National Ballet delivering their Dance and Parkinson's Programme in Liverpool and Manchester initiating an interest in working with people living with neurological conditions.

 

In 2011 she co-established LPM Dance with George and since then the company has developed a track record for creating and producing new dance initiatives in diverse settings, many of which have an inclusive focus. This includes LPMs Neuro-Moves programme which was established in partnership with Mel Brierley.


Helen has an MSc in Dance Science in Education from Edinburgh University. Her research included exploring Dalcroze Eurhythmics in the context of a Dance for Parkinson’s class. She has presented papers focusing on Dance and Parkinson's at the International Association of Dance Science and Medicine Conference 2018 (Helsinki, Finland) and the International Conference of Dalcroze Studies 2019, 2021, 2023. 


In 2024 Helen was awarded an MBE for her charitable contributions to people living with Parkinson's.

After graduating from university, Philippa decided to stay in UK’s seconding city – Birmingham to

work alongside, musicians, artists and various arts organisations in the West Midlands. Over the years she has been a part of programming teams in organisations such as Town Hall Symphony Hall (B:Music) and Shakespeare’s Birthplace Trust. Her main passion and role whilst working at such organisations has always been cultural democracy, making sure that all feel welcome, heard and seen from entrance to stage. Philippa recently returned to her home county of South Yorkshire after spending eight months in the Democratic Republic of Congo where she was working with the youth organisation The Congo Tree. Whilst she was there, she had the pleasure of working alongside and collaborating with the artists of the city of Goma, as singer-songwriter Philippa Zawe.
