In 2006, with support from Three Cities Create and Connect, iNada Nada by Madrid based company Aracaladanza was performed at the Children's Arts Festivals in each of Derby, Leicester and Nottingham.

This beautiful production was conceived by the company's Artistic Director Enrique Cabrera and has toured worldwide to public and critical acclaim.

iNada...Nada! is suitable for 4 years and upwards and takes the audience on a fantastical under-sea voyage where the imagination can run riot alongside brightly-clad divers, colourful fish, mermaids and clams...
