Big Jigsaw is Dancefest's access and inclusion programme, which aims to challenge, surprise and push boundaries in inclusive dance, working with disabled and non-disabled people of all ages and abilities.
Jigsaw Performance Company (16+)
An inclusive dance company for disabled and non-disabled dancers who meet at 5-7m on Wednesdays in Hereford.
We can create bespoke projects for schools and colleges inspired by different themes or curriculum-based activities. Schools can be part of local cluster sharings that Dancefest organises or become part of our larger scale performance projects.
