Festival of New Dance 2026 – PLAY

Family friendly Live music

PLAY is an interactive, interdisciplinary performance by choreographer Jacinte Armstrong that blurs the lines between workshop and show, play and performance. Set in an informal, non-proscenium space, the piece explores how colourful large-scale objects shape how we move. Through accessible, structured improvisation, bursts of choreography, sound, drawing, and colourful props, audiences are gently invited to co-create the experience. Audience members are invited to join in or simply observe as the performance unfolds around them. Designed for all ages and abilities, PLAY is joyful, and responsive—transforming a shared space into a temporary world of movement, presence, and possibility.
