Performers from around the world will be descending on Liverpool between September 4 and 7 for the 2008 DaDaFest International festival.

The four-day festival is organised by North West Disability Arts Forum (NWDAF) who work to facilitate and promote the participation of disabled people in the arts and cultural sectors.

Garry Robson, Artistic Director, said: “DaDaFest brings to the heart of Liverpool Capital of Culture celebrations the unique flavour of the best and brightest of cutting-edge deaf and disability arts.”

The celebration is in its eighth year and is bigger than ever. A range of performances are planned between September 4 and 7 with organisers claiming to have something for everyone.

Various venues around Liverpool are playing host to the programme which includes live artworks, opera, film premieres, talks and even family puppet shows.

More information and tickets can be found on the NWDAF website at www.nwdaf.co.uk
