A line of dancers performs on a dark stage, each mid-movement with arms raised or stepping in rhythm. The group includes both standing dancers and a wheelchair user, creating a lively sense of individuality and shared energy.

Be part of creating the conditions for brilliance

Join the Candoco Circle and pledge a monthly gift to help create the freedom for artists to take risks, try something new and make extraordinary work.

Why now

For 35 years, Candoco has been changing who dance is for – championing D/deaf, disabled and neurodivergent artists as well as creating opportunities for these artists to be seen, heard and celebrated.

Why you

Artists need people like you in their corner, believing in their creative process, as well as being in the audience on opening night. Your support will allow us to back an artist early, take a chance on an exciting idea and say ‘yes’ when an opportunity comes along.

The Candoco Circle exists because you believe in the promise of excellence.

Together, we can make sure more disabled artists are seen, supported and celebrated.

As a Candoco Circle member, you will:

- Hear first
  Receive stories, news and messages from the artists you’re helping to champion. This includes behind-the-scenes moments and updates on new opportunities.
- See behind the scenes
  See the creative process up close, with invitations to R&D sharings and opportunities to see work before it reaches the public.
- Have your say
  From time to time, we’ll invite you to share your thoughts and ideas as we develop what’s next.
- Be invited
  Where we can, we’ll offer you special invitations, receptions and opportunities to spend time with the people and work you’re helping make possible.
- Be among the first to hear
  Candoco Circle members will be the first to hear when places open for our new Virtual My Way London Marathon challenge (More info to follow).
