This tactile dance performance is made especially for autistic/neurodivergent children aged 3–7.

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 designed for autistic/neurodivergent children aged 3–7. The performance is open for 60 minutes, but you can enter and leave whenever you like.
