A Powerful Duet on the Invisible Acts of Care

What to Expect from GRATEFUL
Blending dance, live vocals and autobiographical text, GRATEFUL invites audiences into a shared experience of connection and recognition. This performance speaks to anyone who has ever cared for another, illuminating the tenderness and strength found in everyday acts of love. It is aimed at new parents, at babies and their carer’s groups, and at NHS and NCT staff who work closely with these communities.

More Than a dance-theatre Performance
Pre-show workshops & post-show discussions: Each performance can include an interactive workshop before the show and a facilitated discussion afterward, allowing audiences to engage more deeply with the themes of the piece.
A relaxed performance for whole families: GRATEFUL is not a children’s show, but it is designed to be welcoming for audiences of all ages through relaxed performances. Families can enjoy the experience together in a supportive and inclusive environment.
