- we’re making a piece with the company’s dancers that will be full of heart and centres joy, messiness and the sometimes unpredictable nature of the disabled lived experience.

Candoco Dance Company celebrate different ways of being and making art, putting them at the forefront of conversations around dance and disability. Bridging the mainstream and the experimental, their bold approach and powerful collaborations create distinctive performances and far-reaching learning experiences. The company, founded in 1991 collaborates with some of the industry’s most renowned choreographers and artists. We create performance work that is presented at prestigious venues and festivals in the UK and internationally. This will be Dominic Mitchell and Raquel Meseguer Zafe’s first commission as Co-Artistic Directors of Candoco Dance Company since beginning their leadership in January 2024. Dominic and Raquel are both disabled artists, and their lived experience guides the company’s mission for this first commission: creating liberatory spaces on and off stage, prioritising the lived experience of disabled artists in the creation of new works, and acknowledging and exploring intersectionality as a practice. Dan Daw is a former Candoco performer, and this new collaboration honours the company’s legacy while embodying Candoco’s new vision through a partnership that holds shared values and principles.Dan Daw Creative Projects (DDCP) is a disabled-led company, who are leading the way in creating accessible international touring work that blurs the lines between theatre, dance and activism, alongside creating systemic change in institutions and the sector for d/Deaf and disabled artists and audiences through long-term partnerships and residencies.&nbsp; DDCP’s work explores what it means for disabled bodies to occupy, and be unapologetic in non-disabled spaces. Their mission is to use the arts to provoke change and reclaim space. They use dance, theatre and activism to educate, inspire and advocate for those most in need, whose lived experiences are similar to our own. &nbsp;
