Second Hand Dance The Sticky Dance
+ £4.00 building maintenance fee
An interactive, engaging and colourful performance installation for children and their families.
Three dancers’ shimmy through the audience weaving a tapestry of sticky tape in this tactile dance performance for young children. They invite you to tape, stick and groove, to see and feel sound or to be still, watch and listen. Audiences are encouraged to explore freely, choosing how they engage, and turning the rules upside down.
The Sticky Dance is open for two hours for each performance. We recommend you spend approximately 45 – 60 minutes in the space, although you can choose to stay for longer or less. Please book one of the entrance slots available every 15 minutes. The first two slots have a lower capacity, for children who might prefer a gentler start.
Co-commissioned by Southbank Centre and The Place, and South East Dance. With support from Stanley Arts and using public funding by Arts Council England.

Relaxed Performances
A Relaxed Performance is a less formal theatre experience for anyone who would benefit from a more relaxed atmosphere to enjoy a show. They support noise and movement within the auditorium during a show, re-entry when needed so house lights are left on throughout, and a separate chill-out space for anyone who might need it at any time during their visit. We also provide a Visual Story so people can familiarise themselves with the theatre and key details about the show in advance.Even the shyest children won’t resist the show’s allure.★★★★ THEATRE1
