DaDaFest International 2012


DaDaFest 2012, the biggest, most comprehensive and challenging festival of Disability & Deaf Arts in the world, takes place in Liverpool from Friday 13th July until Sunday 2nd September, with the majority of live events concentrated in the middle of August, and offers audiences a wealth of UK and International talent, with events this year including performance, comedy, dance, music, sculpture, film, photography, and poetry.

Line-up

Laurence Clark, and Evelyn Glennie are the first acts to be confirmed.

Events

Events range from 'Niet Normaal, Difference On Display', a major international visual arts exhibition, which is also part of the London 2012 Festival, to cutting-edge comedy, deaf culture events and performances by leading international musicians, in a programme that will both entertain and present art forms from different cultural perspectives. The Festival’s theme, TransActions - Fluid Bodies: Shifting Identities, will look at how disability affects us all, examining exchanges that occur between people and technology, and how a sense of identity is bound up with our changing bodies.

Tickets

Tickets for Saturday 18 August are priced from £20 - £27.50. Ticket prices for other event have not yet been confirmed, and tickets are not yet on sale.
