About
Why NDK?
‘ND’ or 'Neurodivergent', because it's a night run by an ND team. We aim for better access and inclusion for the audience and performers, at an event we'd actually want to bring our mates to. 'Karneval' is a colourful in-between world where normal social rules are lifted and a new set of rules apply.
This is a space where neurodivergence is the norm and celebrated. Dance however you want, or don't. Allies and friends welcomed with open arms. Just don't make us do small talk!
Partners
Our drag and short acts are sourced through emerging performers' networks including Above Your Nerve theatre company.
We proudly present musician RightKeysOnly @rightkeysonly in partnership with UnMute, roster of talent run through Global Local.
We are funded by Arts Council England's National Lottery Project Grants.
