OUR PRODUCTIONS

As a dance company we tour our innovative productions worldwide. We work with both disability rights organisations and mainstream dance theatre groups.

DANCE THEATRE

Touchdown Dance company involves both visually impaired and sighted dancers. We create dance theatre performances and provide quality entertainment for a range of venues, festivals, and platforms.

Our performances evolve from research and close collaboration with choreographers such as Ray Chung, Julyen Hamilton, and Angus Balbernie

We make multi-sensory experiences accessible to hard-to-reach audiences — using unique forms of audio description, projection, sound and even audience participation.
