University of Atypical for Arts and Disability

Bounce Arts Festival 4-6 October 2024 - This is a festival created by and for disabled, d/Deaf and neurodivergent people through the University of Atypical. This year it is taking place over three days in Belfast, Derry-Londonderry and Limavady. Transcending barriers, celebrating ability and disability; disturbing myths and illuminating the creative practice of disabled artists on a professional platform: Bounce is our showcase where every aspect of diverse identity is celebrated. All are welcome.

Disability Pride Soirée is a celebration of queer d/Deaf, disabled, and neurodivergent artists across a range of music, drag, comedy, and poetry performances by emerging artists.

This Masterclass will provide a professional introduction to techniques on songwriting and recording collaboration using Zoom. In today’s environment of virtual meetups, musicians and creatives are increasingly writing and collaborating remotely in online forums.

Want to be a part of the action? Join our fantastic team of 'Bouncers' and experience the Bounce Arts Festival from the heart of it all. We've got up to 30 spots open for amazing volunteers like you.
