Audience feedback:

​

Moving, joyful, special

​

Joy, community, access

 

Coming in and seeing so many people from so many backgrounds — migrants and deaf — all enjoying something beautiful together.

​

Sitting round the table eating food with women I hadn’t met before and sharing stories

​

It is very rare to have a space for people only to connect, especially with anything other than words. So it was very soothing and eye-opening to experience.
