Supporting D/deaf, disabled and neurodivergent artists at every stage of their practice

We believe D/deaf, disabled and neurodivergent artists belong at the heart of dance, not in the margins. Our opportunities are built around that belief and designed to support you whether you're performing, making work or developing your leadership skills.

Three dancers crouch on a stage with a white backdrop. Two dancers hold the hands of the dancer in the centre.

Three performers are on a stage with a grey draped back cloth. There is a table in the middle and one dance is pushing down on the table. Another leans toward a microphone while the last dancer watches on.
