Monday 1 June 2026, 10.30am - 1.00pm 

Facilitated by disabled artists Raquel Meseguer Zafe and Holly Thomas, this workshop invites you to engage with the artworks featured in the 'Dance Out' exhibition.

This is a movement workshop for Deaf, disabled and neurodivergent dance artists, held on a day when the gallery is closed to the public. Holly and Raquel will offer a series of open scores that invite disabled artists to encounter, move through, rest with, and inhabit the gallery space.

This workshop is an opportunity to reimagine what it means to engage with audio description, horizontality and embodied listening as a place from which to experience and 'move' in response to the artworks.

There will be a BSL interpreter during the workshop.
We have sufficient staff trained in sighted guiding.

It is an open shape, arms in an open gesture as she steps towards her colleague in the olive green jumpsuit, who receives this shape. They are in the right background of the image.
