Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I’m Yours is a week of creative dance activities, led by celebrated Deaf choreographer Christopher Fonseca in collaboration with a dynamic team of volunteer dance participants. Inspired by the magical era of classic Motown music, Christopher will create funky choreographic rhythms and intricate hand and footwork, a hallmark of his choreographic style, as well as integrating British Sign Language. The week-long project culminates in a live performance on stage at Dance City on Friday 16 July, to a socially distanced live audience.

A BSL interpreter will be present during the post show Q&A.
In order to maintain a safe distance between audience members, this will be conducted in the Theatre with audiences remaining in their seats, and those wishing to leave taking a moment to do so before we begin.
