Piloted with Northern Butterflies and now continuing with Awards for All funding, Outer Glow is a year-long, community-led programme that brings together dance, movement, light, projection and digital storytelling to support creativity and well-being. Sessions take place in community spaces, outdoors and exhibition venues, with a strong emphasis on sensory-friendly, inclusive practice and co-creation.

Participants explore movement, projection, photography and performance, developing confidence while sharing personal narratives in accessible, empowering ways. The project culminates in a live performance, film and exhibition/installation, celebrating participants’ voices and connecting audiences across generations.
