Audience feedback

Jamboree toured across the UK in Autumn 2019. A Spring 2020 tour was cut short due to Covid-19.

About Jamboree

It’s time to make some noise! Jamboree is a vibrant piece of gig-theatre made for and with disabled teenagers who experience the most barriers to access (sometimes labelled as having profound and multiple learning disabilities). Each tune in the gig has been co-created with a young person who is non-verbal. Audiences experience live Balkan music, colourful tactile costumes, sousaphone vibrations and interactive music and noise making.

Behind the scenes

Watch short film Composing a Jamboree about co-creating the show’s music with disabled young people.
