Description
Bournemouth International Centre.
What We're Looking For
- A composer with experience or interest in creating music for dance, particularly in environments where accessibility matters.
- Someone who can collaborate with performers to integrate visual, spatial, and sensory considerations.
- An ability to adapt compositions so they work well for both trained dancers and audience members with sensory or mobility differences.
Why This Matters
Art and performance should be for everyone. This project aims to set a higher standard for genuine accessibility. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to experience and participate in the arts, regardless of their abilities or circumstances.
How to Apply
If you're ready to compose something meaningful, share your portfolio and approach to accessible composition. We're looking for creative minds who understand that great art is inclusive art. Please send your application with examples of your work and a brief statement about your approach to accessible performance.

The greatest access in the world unfortunately means very little if, by the time you get to see what you've paid to see, your view is actually restricted.
Such was the case for a concert at the BIC. Granted, easy parking, step free access, accessible loos and lifts all combine to help a wheelchair user feel completely at home.
However, upon taking up my space on the balcony, I turned to my daughter and remarked how the impressive view would be ruined once the main band came on.
I was right. As soon as the guitars struck up the first chord, those sitting in front of me were immediately up on their feet. And I really couldn't blame them, even though the signs made it clear that this was to be a no-standing area. It was also about this time that the stewards directing people to their seats disappeared.
My thought on this is that its pretty disingenuous of the BIC to charge full price for what are clearly going to be restricted views. There ARE viewing positions on the balcony that offer a good view but these were obviously sold out before we got our tickets.
Its not a particularly difficult problem to solve either. Don't sell tickets in the row immediately in front of the wheelchair positions.
