joyful dance games for everyone to play in public spaces!

ARCADE is a new interactive performance with dance ‘games’, that animate public spaces - encouraging playful participation to connect people of all ages with the childlike joy of play - and each other!

Each performance ‘set’ lasts approximately 30 minutes and contains six unique games - each announced by The Gamesmaster.

With a fun and bouncy electronic soundtrack, these spontaneous choreographic games are elegantly played and facilitated by our friendly team of highly skilled performers - some games are mesmerising & fun to watch, others invite gentle playful participation.

Suitable for a range of public spaces from parks to high streets, ARCADE offers a joyful & accessible way to connect communities - bringing spaces to life with movement & play!

Programming Information

ARCADE is designed for public space (parks, squares, festivals) and is suitable for all surfaces (grass, concrete etc.) with no technical requirements from presenters. The show is scalable with a min 6x6m performance area. No participant sign-up is required, games are ‘turn up & play’, simple and easy to engage with.

Games have a focus on play rather than competition and are suitable to be joined by the public for anything from 30 seconds in passing to a full round of a few minutes - and can be left at any time. We strive to make ARCADE as inclusive as possible and our teams are trained in access support to enable the widest possible participation!
