CoDa is a disability-led dance charity, provoking difficult conversations about life, death and disability, through dance.

We work in surprising places, with people society too often overlooks. Since 2017 we've danced with patients at the Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability, people living with brain injury, MS, Parkinson's and other neurological conditions who can spend months or years in clinical settings with little chance to be creative, make choices or simply have fun. Our Dance for Neurology sessions change that, one session at a time.

In Thurrock and Essex, where we are based, CoDa in Motion brings dance to disabled young people, young carers and SEND schools, alongside community events open to everyone. We also make award-winning performance work, including Beyond the Darkness (winner of One Dance UK's Bob Lockyer Award) and Avoidance and Other Acts of Love, an outdoor show made for festivals and public spaces.

We believe dance belongs to everyone. Access is built into everything we do from the start, never added on at the end. People with lived experience of disability shape our work as collaborators, not just participants.

Critics have described our work as "defiantly alive", "really ***** powerful" and possessing "compassionate power to make the world a more understanding place". We're committed to creating work that is exciting, inclusive, impactful, and engaging - work that proves dance has the power to transform lives!
