Four year-old Jessica from Hertfordshire

(Photograph) - Four year-old Jessica from Hertfordshire enjoyed a movement play session for visually impaired children involving dancers, musicians and visual artists at Sadler's Wells theatre in London on 11 November. The session was organised by The Ark, a charity that runs an annual programme of multi-sensory workshops for children who have learning, physical disabilities and sensory impairment. For more information, contact The Ark by e-mailing info@theark1.demon.co.uk. Manuela Benini, movement playleader for Sadler's Wells Theatre and Sure Start Islington South, said the session was a 'space for exploration, where imagination can be unlocked and expressed through music making, dance, vocal work and sensory awareness'. The multi-sensory theatre environment features an underwater journey with jellyfish, treasure chests, secret caves, rainsticks, ocean drums and projections of fish. Dancers, musicians and visual artists worked with the groups and their carers. It formed part of the Xposure Disability Arts festival, which is taking place across London throughout November.
