Give Me Space
2026 Summer Tour
Bold and moving, Give Me Space is a powerful dance performance by ConfiCo that puts learning disabled voices centre stage and demands to be heard.
Using movement, spoken word and strong images, the piece explores how it feels to be excluded by systems and rules that don’t fit. It is also about strength, creativity and the ongoing fight to be heard and understood.
This summer, Give Me Space is touring across East Kent. To find your nearest performance and buy your tickets, see the links below.

This event includes curtain-raiser performances from two exceptional youth companies in Kent.

‘Still We Rise’
Inspired by the words of Maya Angelou and the fight for equality led by figures such as Nelson Mandela, this piece explores the journey from silence to self‑expression.
Confidance Youth Dance Company will present
‘Both…and’
Inspired by ConfiCo’s research into identity, our youth company dancers have created a piece that explores what makes each of them unique. Through movement, they show that identity isn’t just one thing - it’s made up of many parts.
