What is DaDaFest Scratch?
Scratch is an exciting opportunity, a creative space for disabled, Deaf and neurodivergent artists to showcase the early ideas of a piece of work. It is a place for them to discover, to discuss, to develop and to explore potential next steps.
Work developed for Scratch may go on to form part of our DaDaFest International Festival next year.
Come along and try out something new! Find out more.
