Welcome to the StopGAP website

. In this photograph we see the four dancers crouching up against a white wall looking directly at us, with shocked expressions on their faces.

StopGAP is an integrated professional contemporary dance company which has dancers with and without disabilities. A Regularly Funded Organisation (RFO) of Arts Council England, StopGAP is the UK's top integrated dance company working on the small-to-middle scale and leads this field across the World, representing Britain through the British Council.

Vibrant, at times tender, and frequently funny, StopGAP presents dance performances in both traditional theatres and rural community venues.

There is something for everyone as the dancers performances range from striking character work, to pure movement pieces, from the incredibly accessible and highly entertaining, to the challenging and provocative.

Everyone in the company is equally passionate about enabling anyone to have a go, and so StopGAP leads a dynamic range of workshops and participation projects. It also provides a limited number of training and mentoring opportunities.

In this photograph we see Lucy and Chris in the foreground, they are crouching down, left hands raised towards their eyes. In the background Laura reaches out with her left hand touches Dan's Right hand which he stretches up whilst lying in a fetal position on the floor.

StopGAP is the dancers

…and the dancers are real people on stage and in the workshop: entertaining, engaging and always high-quality, they demonstrate integrated teamwork with integrity.

We hope you enjoy your visit to our new website and look forward to welcoming you to one of our future performances.
