Created especially for and with neurodivergent young people ages 7 and up, this whimsical world offers an intimate, accessible environment where guests are invited to explore, imagine, and connect through movement and play. Bursting with energy and acrobatic dance, The Unexpected Gift transforms ordinary objects into something extraordinary and magical—a multi-sensory wonderland built from the leftover boxes, ribbons, and wrapping paper of a celebration. This interactive performance, presented by the Glasgow-based dance-theater company Barrowland Ballet, invites playful exchange between performers and audience, allowing each child’s individuality and creativity to shine through.

This performance is a part of the Big Umbrella Festival, welcoming kids, teens, and adults for a series of multi-sensory, interactive, and engaging programming, designed with and for neurodiverse audiences.
