Why it matters: The performance offers a fully accessible dance experience with multiple features designed for disabled and chronically ill audience members.
Directed by Dan Daw and storytelling raver Stef O'Driscoll, the show explores "what happens when a beat takes hold, and we dare to colour outside the lines to create our own dance-floor utopia."
The details: The hour-long performance features embedded captions for deaf or hard-of-hearing attendees and a relaxed attitude to noise and movement in the auditorium.
For visually impaired audiences, a touch tour runs before the show from 18:30-19:00, offering tactile experience of costumes, props and set.
