In October 2023, Luminous Soul performed at the high profile One Young World Opening Ceremony at the SSE Arena, Belfast.

Luminous Soul is a unique, contemporary dance programme and the only such programme in Northern Ireland. It provides high-quality dance training and development for disabled people and to work toward group productions and public performances. 2019 was the 10th anniversary of the programme and we commissioned the video below to showcase the work that they have done over those 10 years.

Luminous Soul has worked with many expert choreographers and tutors from around the UK and Northern Ireland. The group has performed at many high profile festivals and events locally and nationally.

“Dancing feels like flying. My body feels so light and really like I’m flying when I dance with Luminous Soul. My disability has become beautiful – not something to hide.”

In September 2019, we hosted MeetShareDance festival as part of the 10th anniversary celebrations of our dance company, Luminous Soul. MeetShareDance is an international, inclusive workshop festival. Over three days there were 5 workshops involving 40 dancers from 7 countries and culminating in ‘flash mob’ type performance in the heart of Belfast’s City Centre.

We commissioned the short film below to capture the experiences of all involved over the three days.
