Candoco Dance Company brings inclusive rave experience to Ipswich

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.

How to attend: Under-25s visiting DanceEast for the first time this spring can access £10 tickets using discount code SPRINGU25 at the booking stage or by calling 01473 295230.

Standard tickets cost from £18, with concessions from £14. The performance is suitable for ages 14+.

Accessibility details:

• A pre-show station in the foyer where audience members can ask questions and view images of performers and costumes

• Limited soft seating via bean bags for disabled or chronically ill attendees (first come, first served)

• No changes to lighting or sound during the relaxed performance

The bottom line: Candoco and Dan Daw Creative Projects invite audiences on "a beat-driven, joyful journey to a perfect rave – a place where everyone is welcome."
