The Bop* is a dance film created in collaboration with the general public.

The Bop invites the audience to engage in a task-based dance project allowing them to explore their interpretation and experimentation in a public space without diverting far from their day-to-day routines. The Bop seeks to challenge our perceptions of what accessibility truly means within the arts community by valuing exposure of process and by centring the involvement of the general public.

*a bop is that sweet feeling you obtain while listening to a banger** of a tune forcing you to repeatedly nod your head in approval.

**a banger is that tune that makes you bop and say ‘tuuuuunneeeee’.
