Join us for the world premiere of ICONIC+ — a story that that takes place in the magical world of Dreamwriter, who turns dreams into reality! To Dreamwriter, imagined stories are her reality. In her world, icons are just dreamers who rarely get a chance to be seen, but she wants to show you a different story that goes beyond words and embodies ICONIC. So, dream, imagine, and experience a world with no barriers where we are free to be who we are and join us on this magical journey.

You won’t want to miss the National accessArts Centre’s biggest dance premiere supported by the National Arts Centre’s National Creation Fund. Uncover ICONIC+’s groundbreaking world of visuals, stories, and accessibility. Step through the theatre doors and experience the magic of accessibility like you have never seen before.

The show is approximately one and a half hours long with a 15-minute intermission.

As a part of our accessibility measures, 15 minutes prior to the start of every show will be a description of the set, lighting, projection and sound through the eyes of Dreamwriter — our Audio Describer throughout the piece. All are encouraged to attend.

This show contains Closed Captioning, Deaf Interpretation (ASL), and Audio Description at every performance. The house lights will stay on at a low level for the duration of the show, allowing patrons to come and go as needed. There will be no usage of haze, strobe, or any flashing effects that may cause seizures or triggers. Music will be kept at a medium to low volume throughout the performance. Access items including sunglasses, earplugs, and fidget toys will be available at every show in the theatre lobby for all patrons.

We look forward to welcoming you to ICONIC+, a world beyond reality where every icon starts with a dream.

Following the performance on Friday, September 26, there will be an opening reception to celebrate. Purchase the reception add-on for your ticket here.
