Describe DaDaFest here.

DaDaFest [disability & deaf arts festival] started in 2001 as a way of promoting the arts created by disabled and deaf artists/creatives/individuals & community groups. The key aim being to get this work into mainstream venues and spaces across the city.

The festival is probably the only truly accessible festival in the UK as every access requirement, from signers to P.A's, hearing loops to audio description, large print to braille,and only ever level access venues booked, so no one is turned away.

The festival has been instrumental in launching the work of many disabled artists, commissioning of new arts work and increasingly using new digital technologies as a way to promote, create dialogue and get the work into more homes etc.

This years festival, 'Imperfect Moments' is our 9th - launches at CUC on 19th November and ends with the DaDaAwards at the new Liverpool Hilton on International Disabled Peoples Day - 3rd December 09.
