Dance raves are for everyone!
Presented by three Deaf hosts and a DJ, this interactive dance event celebrates connection, joy, and the power of dance rituals. In a playful interrogation of who belongs in dance rave spaces, Mini SPIN honours the intersection of Deaf culture, dance, and music - with no dance experience required.
All children welcome, including Deaf/HoH/CODA and hearing children.
- Mini SPIN is a work for D/deaf, hard of hearing, CODA and hearing children and their families.
- Mini SPIN is an interactive dance performance, where the audience are encouraged to follow
the instructions of the facilitators and dance along.
- The performance is non-verbal. There is no spoken text or instructions, except for an audience
introduction which is signed in Auslan, and interpreted into spoken English. This gives the
audience an overview of what to expect. Audience members are also invited to learn some Mini
SPIN related Auslan signs.
- Mini SPIN is a fully standing, moving experience; however, it is accessible for wheelchair users,
people with physical disabilities and people with visual impairments or low vision. The Deaf
Hosts will adapt as necessary, and audiences can go at their own pace. People are welcome to
leave the performance, and re-enter.
- Mini SPIN can be highly physical and fast-paced, but audiences can choose the pace or the level
of interaction that feels comfortable for them. Please note there may be flickering lights, and
the bass can be quite heavy and the music quite loud - this is because the Deaf performers rely
on feeling vibrations from the bass. DreamBIG can provide ear plugs if required.
- A visual story is available on the Mini SPIN showpage.
