After a sell out first run BLINK are bringing back FOUR CORNERS. Weaving together dance, original live music and storytelling; audiences step inside the lives of four young Londoners and all that complicates them. BLINK are pushing the boundaries of inclusive theatre exploring identity against a backdrop of vibrant colours, and bespoke beats and soundscapes.

It is suitable for any age and appeals to a wide range of ages and backgrounds. So far FOUR CORNERS has had particular success with young people (11-25yrs) and people with disabilities as we try to encourage a relaxed showing atmosphere, choose accessible venues and employ a BSL interpreter where possible. Perviously we found many students and lecturers in the creative and performing arts attended, as well as audiences interested in live music and combined arts. Some families also attended the show.
'It is thrilling to see something so personal, accessible and inviting brought to a stage. The pure joy was infectious.’
'The mission of BLINK Dance Theatre, the production company behind Four Corners, is to push boundaries in inclusive theatre, exploring gender, race and disability. This mission is so clear in their work. They are a company taking on a very worthy challenge and doing it very well.'
‘This was absolutely incredible, thundering sandcastles’
All of our shows are relaxed performances and the show is particularly accessible to people with learning disabilities. We also aim to have at least one performance BSL interpreted per venue and audio description when available.
We can offer workshops for groups and schools attending shows. These workshops are accessible to everyone including adults and young people with learning disabilities. During our initial London tour we ran pre and post-show workshops with groups from schools, colleges and community settings. We are also able to run workshops for arts practitioners/students wishing to develop their own practice in Inclusive Theatre, we regularly teach this on the Applied Theatre MA's at both Central School Speech and Drama and Goldsmiths. Exact package and pricing to be negotiated.
£500 per performance (no VAT to be added) This fee is negotiable as we will consider box office splits as well as guarantees.
