Child holding colorful tape rolls over eyes, with more rolls hanging from the ceiling against a blue wall.

An interactive, engaging and colourful performance installation for children and their families.


Three dancers’ shimmy through the audience weaving a tapestry of sticky tape in this tactile dance performance for young children. They invite you to tape, stick and groove, to see and feel sound or to be still, watch and listen. Audiences are encouraged to explore freely, choosing how they engage, and turning the rules upside down.

The Sticky Dance is open for two hours for each performance. We recommend you spend approximately 45 – 60 minutes in the space, although you can choose to stay for longer or less. Please book one of the entrance slots available every 15 minutes. The first two slots have a lower capacity, for children who might prefer a gentler start.

Co-commissioned by Southbank Centre and The Place, and South East Dance. With support from Stanley Arts and using public funding by Arts Council England.
