The Signdance Collective is a touring performance company that was established in 2001. The company is culturally diverse with a team of experienced deaf and disabled artists at the helm. From 1987 to 2000, the company directors pioneered “signdance theatre”, a fusion of sign theatre, dance and live original music. Since 2001, Signdance Collective has continued to evolve signdance theatre initiating international collaborations and working alongside innovative artists, theatre philosophers and performance companies across the world.

Whilst remaining consistent to the original mission statement as a core guiding principle that informs all that we do, we continue to create new and original work. Established in London and Amsterdam, the company continues to be a unique, critically acclaimed and innovative international ensemble. We are based at Wycombe Arts Centre in the United Kingdom.
