He is a creative teaching and learning consultant and has taught dance and theatre to ages and skills ranging from 5yrs to Inernational Festival Masterclasses and company training for both theatre and dance companies.

Ben is also involved in a  trailblazing project in Camborne, Cornwall. He has been working with a group of young people called the 'TR14ers', a community dance group. The 'dance leaders group' are TR14ers who work with Ben to specifically develop their choreographic skills, their teaching skills and their confidence. These dance leader sessions are one of the key elements that make this project sustainable.

The film below, shot in Cornwall in one day, was made as part of the 'Drifters Project', one of the themes of which is the journeys that are taken from boy to man. We are currently working in schools in Cornwall with groups of young men between the ages of nine and fifteen. We hope that you enjoy the film!
