Three dancers’ shimmy through the audience weaving a tapestry of sticky tape in this tactile dance performance for young children. They invite you to tape, stick and groove, to see and feel sound or to be still, watch and listen.

Audiences are encouraged to explore freely, choosing how they engage, and turning the rules upside down. The Sticky Dance is open for 2 hours for each performance. We recommend you spend approximately 45 minutes in the space, although you can choose to stay for longer or less. Please book one of the entrance slots available every 15 minutes. The first 2 slots have a lower capacity, for children who might prefer a gentler start.

• Children and families choose how they interact with the performers and the space
• There are no words as part of the performance, but the company may give some instructions or say hello
• The Sticky Dance does not use bright or flashing lights although it does incorporate a soundscape through speakers embedded in the set.
• Some of the structures in the set incorporate technology which translates the music into vibration.
• There is seating in the space including floor cushions and chairs.
• The performance installation is interactive, but you can participate in any way you feel comfortable; watching, listening, touching, dancing or moving about. You can find your own way to be; and our performers are there to join you, or play alongside you.
