This performance brings together neurodiverse artists and the voices of parents and caregivers. Through filmed interviews and original dances, the piece unfolds chronologically from birth through adulthood, tracing how love, care and creativity shape an artist over time. Each dance is inspired by a real conversation and led by the artist at its centre, translating lived experience into movement. The work invites audiences to see not only the art that is made, but the relationships that make it possible.
