Dance is generally considered to be very much a visual artform and for blind or visually impaired people in particular, engaging with dance, as an audience member or performer, may feel too difficult but a new Leeds-based dance company is seeking to change that and find innovative ways of making dance more accessible.

Unbound Dance Theatre, founded by choreographer Sandrine Monin in 2023, is on a mission to challenge preconceptions and open up the dance space to everyone. The company’s stated aim is ‘to champion inclusivity, connection and expression’, all of which is manifested in their first show Fireflies at Dawn premiering in Bradford tomorrow before touring to Leeds and Wakefield.

The idea is that the experience will be the same for blind and sighted audiences.” A professional dancer and choreographer for over 15 years, Monin trained in classical ballet in her native France and went on to work with several internationally acclaimed contemporary dance companies. She moved to the UK in 2012 to work with Leeds-based Phoenix Dance Theatre and was with them for seven years.
