The Beacon – Wibsey Park
The Sticky Dance for Sensory Groovers
Second Hand Dance
An interactive performance installation for autistic/neurodivergent children aged 3–7.
This tactile dance performance was made especially for autistic/neurodivergent children aged 3–7.
Three dancers shimmied through the audience, weaving a tapestry of sticky tape. We were invited to tape, stick and groove, to see and feel sound – or just to be still, watch and listen and explore the space however we liked!
