This promotional banner is for an event at the Southbank Centre, titled "Unlimited," occurring from September 4 to 8. The central figure is a performer in a wheelchair, captured in an impressive and dynamic upside-down pose, suggesting a breakdancing or acrobatic act. The image is predominantly yellow and features a dramatic lighting effect that highlights the performer.

The Southbank Centre is excited to announce the return of Unlimited Festival, a showcase of extraordinary performance, music and art by disabled artists. Taking place from Wednesday 4th – Sunday 8th September, the festival features comedy shows, theatre, dance, club nights and plenty of free events across the five-day programme.

Unlimited Festival 2024 line-up

This year’s festival includes London premieres of Stopgap Dance Company’s Lived Fiction and Touretteshero’s Burnt Out in Biscuit Land, plus award-winning theatre company Flawbored’s It’s a Mother F**king Pleasure and a new commission by Abnormally Funny People featuring comedians Shaparak Khorsandi, Harriet Dyer, Steve Day and more.

And keeping the energy up around the clock, Disco Neurotico brings its first neurodiverse club night to London, alongside Deaf Rave’s multidimensional dancefloor.

You can also explore movement, mobility and connection in Precarious Moves, a humorous solo performance by choreographer, performer and theoretician Michael Turinsky, as well as a unique combination of musical theatre, movement, live art and drag in Midgitte Bardot’s Shooting From Below.

This image shows a dancer on stage. The dancer is wearing loose, light-colored clothing and is captured mid-movement, with one arm bent in front and the other bent behind. The background features projected silhouettes of various figures in historical attire, adding a dynamic and artistic element to the scene. The stage floor reflects the dancer, enhancing the visual impact.

And don’t miss Jo Bannon’s Sleight of Hand – a tactile installation that integrates audio description, tactile design, choreography and an immersive ASMR soundscape.

The festival’s free events programme includes a wide range of art installations, film screenings, club nights, immersive music and contemporary dance.

Serious, subversive, sweaty and joyful, the events in Unlimited 2024 flip narratives around disability on their heads and turn the spotlight on sensational storytelling from some of the most talented stand-ups, writers, artists and performers in the industry.
