Education
Passion in sharing knowledge lies at the heart of White & Givan.
We endeavour to make work that engages audiences on a physical and emotional level that is felt, whilst allowing the subtleties of the performativity within our work to take the audience on a journey without the necessity of a traditional and conventional theatre narrative.

EDUCATION PROGRAMME
Led by Errol and Davina, our work supports dancers at every stage of their journey, from early professional training to sustained creative practice within their communities.
Our approach is thoughtful, inclusive and rooted in lived experience. Errol and Davina draw from decades of professional performance and choreographic practice to create environments where dancers can take risks, refine technique and deepen artistic voice.
As Sharon Watson MBE DL, CEO of the Northern School of Contemporary Dance, observes,
“Their approach is thoughtful and inclusive, their impact far-reaching. Through their teaching, mentoring and community engagement, they model an unwavering commitment to supporting others.”
This commitment is echoed by colleagues across the sector:
“White & Givan uphold the gold standard in commitment, originality and integrity. They are technically at the highest level and I have seen over decades how they inspire younger dancers to achieve such standards.” Morag Deyes OBE
“They bring professionalism and discipline to every context – their support for professional practice and community engagement is next to none.” Hayley Durward, Citymoves Dance Agency
For White & Givan, talent development means more than technical mastery – it’s about resilience, curiosity and connection. Our alumni are now choreographers, educators and leaders across the UK and beyond, carrying forward the discipline, empathy and artistic integrity that define our work.
