Two dancers move across a dimly lit stage, both low to the floor with arms extended. One dancer balances on hands and feet, while the other travels alongside in a wheelchair, creating a sense of strength, flow and connection.

Inclusion Statement

At Candoco we welcome and celebrate all individual difference. We respect and support self-identity, in all its forms.

The Company understands disability as shaped by the barriers people encounter in daily life. We value individual lived experience and are committed to enabling all members of our diverse community to feel visible, and for everyone’s contribution to Candoco to be heard and respected, as we work towards a shared commitment to inclusion.

Candoco’s aim is to proactively support D/deaf, disabled and neurodivergent artists to develop their skills within the dance industry – where difference is not simply accommodated, but celebrated. To do this, we create opportunities specifically for these artists as leaders, performers and makers.
