Bucks New University - Getting a move on

An unusual dance theatre troupe has become "company in residence" at Bucks New University. Signdance Collective, made up of deaf and disabled artists, will run workshops for students and collaborate on research with academics. In return, it will be allowed to use the university's facilities and performance space. Ruth Gunstone, acting head of the School for Design, Craft and Visual Arts, said: "This will allow our students to gain valuable networking contacts and gain tips from well-respected performers."
