Dancers from across Nottinghamshire will take to the stage in Mansfield as part of the Unify Inclusive Dance Festival which has seen disabled and non-disabled dancers from Inspire Youth Arts and Next Door Dance, come together to work with the internationally acclaimed Candoco Dance Company.

All the dancers took part in a week-long intensive workshop thinking about the new post-pandemic world and how things have changed, to create this brand new, specially commissioned piece ‘You’re on mute’.

The Candoco Dance Company will also be performing one of their repertoire pieces Set and Reset / Reset as a stunning highlight to the festival.
