Since we first joined X, the platform has changed significantly, and unfortunately despite growing a wonderful audience, we feel like X no longer supports the kind of healthy conversations and meaningful engagement we value.

[Candoco Dance Co @candocodance]

A huge thank you to everyone who has followed and supported us on X - we truly hope to carry those connections forward on Bluesky. See you on the other side!

We can't wait to co-host the premiere of 'Spectator on Your Self' by K. Bailed (Kat Hawkins) this Thursday, 28 November at 7pm (Online via Zoom) - a new dance film exploring disabled autonomy, fear, joy and connection.

[Candoco Dance Co @candocodance]

Kat has been in partnership with us for the past four years during their PhD research and this film has been borne out of that time and thinking.
