BLINK Dance Theatre
BLINK are a neurodiverse-led, relentlessly inclusive arts organisation committed to tackling ableism by building bridges between inner-city popular culture and learning disability culture.
We exist to share our vision of a world without barriers by embracing difference as a catalyst for wild creativity, honest dance-theatre, and authentic partnerships. Our work is socially aware, alert and accountable to issues and trends affecting inner city London, Learning Disabled and Black culture. We combine our love of urban-core aesthetic, playful, interactive design and humour to dig into universal themes, with an aim to create greater understanding between people existing within and outside the inclusive arts subculture.
BLINK Dance Theatre have been delivering performing arts-based, inclusive participatory workshops in schools across London for the past ten years.
