Platform 12

In 2022, WIDance will be finally be celebrating not ten, not eleven, but TWELVE years of providing best practice inclusive dance classes, workshops and performances in the Wellington region for people with and without disabilities.

To celebrate this milestone, we are presenting a season of new, and reworked repertoire choreographies including works from our highly successful fifth anniversary 'Outspoken' in 2015,  and Fringe 2020 performance 'The Art of Observation'.

Premiering in Platform 12, is an exciting new work which explores integrating voice, audio description, printed word and NZSL into a beautifully woven dance work celebrating each performer.

CELEBRATING A MILESTONE

Celebrating milestones through performance is a way for us to acknowledge the dedication and commitment of our participants, and to showcase their growth and creative development as artists to their friends, family and wider community.

Our performance events are always inclusive. One common feedback theme is that the audience note the differences between the able bodied dancers and disabled dancers disappears, they just see the beauty and joy of the dance choreography.

BREAKING DOWN SYSTEMIC BARRIERS

We believe that through public performance, we can break down systemic barriers to inclusion for disability communities.

Part of our commitment to inclusion is to work towards integrating audio description, captioning and New Zealand sign language into the body of our new dance work.

YOUR SUPPORT IS NEEDED

Your generous support will go towards ensuring that our performance is as accessible as possible for our audiences, by supporting the costs involved in our new work, such as the integrated pre recorded audio description, NZSL, and the printing of Braille programmes.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!
