Unify Inclusive Dance Festival 2022

Inspire Youth Arts present an exciting new dance piece created and performed with the internationally acclaimed Candoco Dance Company.

Candoco led a week-long residency with Inspire Youth Arts in Nottingham, collaborating with SANDance, Square Peg and Next Door Dance. This specially commissioned project funded by Arts Council England brought 12 local young people together with six Candoco Teaching Artists to co-create a new choreography by Jennifer Irons. The new work entitled ‘You’re on Mute’ dealt with participants’ experiences of lockdown, and was performed at the Unify Inclusive Dance Festival at Mansfield Palace Theatre in May 2022.
