Over and Over (and over again) Preview Performance

Time stretches. The dance floor is a paradise. This moment is all there is. We are lifted by the lights, held by the music. Our hard edges soften and our hearts swell - finding place, finding ground, finding home.

Join Candoco and Dan Daw Creative Projects on a beat-driven, joyful journey to a perfect rave - a place where everyone is welcome and where you love doing something so much that you would never want to stop.

Told through Dan Daw’s unique weaving of dance, narrative and iconography and co-directed by storytelling raver Stef O’Driscoll, Over and Over (and over again) looks at what happens when a beat takes hold, and we dare to colour outside the lines to create our own dance-floor utopia.

Access Information:

Pre Show Access

The Pre-Show Access session is free and open to anyone who would benefit from attending. It starts 30 minutes from the scheduled start of the show.

Hosts from the Candoco team will be available to enable audience members to engage with:

● An explanation of triggers from the Trigger Menu

● Images of the performers and their costumes

● Experience the brightest lighting of the show

● Experience the loudest sound within the show

● Access to their allocated seat (or reserving one if there is open seating) ahead of the doors opening.

Relaxed Performance - This is a relaxed show where audiences are invited to move around, leave and return, whatever they need. All performances will be relaxed.

Captioning - Embedded captioning into the show means we can offer this at every performance.

With the support of Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels.
This commission was also supported by Arts Council England, and Cockayne Grants for the Arts, held at The London Community Foundation.
