Training Workshop with Visiting Artists from Paragon

About the Workshop

Step into a welcoming, high-energy dance workshop exploring inclusive practice with artists Eilidh McGrath and Alex McCabe — a duo of disabled and non-disabled dancers.

Together, we’ll move, experiment, and share ideas, using Universal Design as a springboard for creating dance spaces where everyone belongs.

Through playful exercises and thought-provoking discussion, we’ll reimagine how dance can hold difference, while diving into big questions about disability rights and the language we use in the arts.
