As part of the Elevate slow conference in disabled-led and accessible arts!

Experience a sneak peek of Give Me Space, ConfiCo’s new work still in its early stages. Born from ConfiCo’s personal experiences of disability, choreography emerges from a year-long exploration into identity, representation and voice for learning-disabled artists. This will be a relaxed sharing, a behind the scenes look at moments still in the making. 

“I’m not given space. I’m not allowed to do things on my own… people assume things about me that aren’t true. I want people to ask questions about my learning disability. I want people to understand.”

After the preview, stick around for an interactive reflection session with our artists. We’ll invite you to share your thoughts and perspectives on the piece, while we continue our conversation about what this project means for the future of dance and disability.

Live captions will be available through Zoom.

Elevate – Give Me Space: A ConfiCo Sharing

Fri 28 March

ART31

ART31 takes its name from Article 31 of the UN Convention on the Rights of a Child, which states that ‘Children have the right to relax and play, and to join in a wide range of cultural, artistic and other recreational activities’.

ART31 is a vision created with, by, and for young people in Kent, championing the belief that all children and young people have an entitlement to access high quality arts and culture, to empower them to achieve their creative potential, and to genuinely engage young people as equal partners in any decision making that affects them.

The ART31 Youth Board is made up of young people from across Kent aged 13-25 who steer its governance, and influence policy and practice across the county and beyond, challenging the creative sector to examine existing ways of working and integrate young people into the core of their practice.
