The pieces are performed by Durham-based Flex Dance, a professional dance company of artists with a learning disability. The show starts at 7.30pm on Saturday 10 February and tickets are £9.50 for adults and £8 for children.

The Chit Chat Chalk Show is a magical chalky adventure where children join Kiko and her friends on a quest to find out what makes her unique. The story dances, draws and giggles its way through from beginning to end.  There are two performances on Saturday 17 February: the 1pm performance is a Relaxed Performance for people who will benefit from a more relaxed experience including those with autism and learning disabilities. The second show is at 4pm and there is a free Dance, Draw, Play chalky workshop from 2.30 to 3.15pm which is suitable for people attending either performance. Tickets are £9.50 for adults and £8 for children.
