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!
About the artists

Established in 2013, Second Hand Dance has an adaptive leadership model, and is run by disabled and non-disabled Co-Directors Rosie Heafford and Claire Summerfield.
