Children aged 3–5 will love exploring this tactile dance performance made especially for them.

Three dancers shimmy through the audience, weaving a tapestry of sticky tape. We’re invited to tape, stick and groove, to see and feel sound – or just to be still, watch and listen. Explore the space however you like!

Please note: This performance of The Sticky Dance is open for two hours, with timed entry slots available every 15 minutes. We recommend you spend around 45–60 minutes in the show, although you can choose to stay for longer or for less time.
