About this event

The Sticky Dance by Second Hand Dance

Three dancers' shimmy through the audience weaving a tapestry of sticky tape in this tactile dance performance for young children. They invite you to tape, stick and groove, to see and feel sound or to be still, watch and listen.

Audiences are encouraged to explore freely, choosing how they engage, and turning the rules upside down. 

The Sticky Dance is an interactive, engaging and colourful performance installation which is especially suitable for autistic/neurodivergent children and their families.   

The performance installation is interactive, but you can participate in anyway you feel comfortable; watching, listening, touching, dancing or moving about. You can find your own way to be; and our performers are there to join you, or play alongside you.

The Sticky Dance does not use bright or flashing lights.

It does incorporate music through speakers embedded in the set.  Some of the structures in the set incorporate technology which translates the music into vibration. 

There is seating in the space including floor cushions and chairs. There is plenty of space for wheelchair users, too.

The Sticky Dance is open for 60 minutes for each performance, although you can choose to enter and leave the space when you choose.  

The show is suitable for children aged over 3 years.And their parents/guardians, siblings & family are also welcome.Please book 1 ticket for each person attending.

The 2 performances are identical – just pick whichever time suits you best!
