Over and Over (and over again)

Time stretches. The dance floor is a paradise. This moment is all there is. We are lifted by the lights, held by the music. Our hard edges soften and our hearts swell – finding place, finding ground, finding home.

Join Candoco Dance Company and Dan Daw Creative Projects on a journey to a place where everyone is welcome; where you love doing something so much that you never want to stop.

Told through Dan Daw’s unique blend of dance, narrative and iconography and Co-Directed by storytelling raver Stef O’Driscoll, ‘Over and Over (and over again)’ explores what happens when a beat takes hold, and we dare to colour outside the lines to create our own dance-floor utopia.

The work will be created between November 2024 and March 2025, with its premiere scheduled for Spring 2025 in the UK.

About Dan Daw Creative Projects: 

Dan Daw Creative Projects (DDCP) is a disabled-led company, who are leading the way in creating accessible international touring work that blurs the lines between theatre, dance and activism, alongside creating systemic change in institutions and the sector for d/Deaf and disabled artists and audiences through long-term partnerships and residencies.

DDCP’s work explores what it means for disabled bodies to occupy, and be unapologetic in non-disabled spaces. Their mission is to use the arts to provoke change and reclaim space. They use dance, theatre and activism to educate, inspire and advocate for those most in need, whose lived experiences are similar to our own.

With the support of Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels.

This commission was also supported by Arts Council England, and Cockayne Grants for the Arts, held at The London Community Foundation.
