About the Digital Pass +
What is the Digital Pass?
First launched in 2021, the Digital Pass gives online audiences access to London’s annual international dance festival, through a specially curated digital festival programme available to watch on danceumbrella.co.uk.
Each year the programme is curated by Artistic Director & Co-CEO Freddie Opoku-Addaie, sometimes with the contribution of guest curators. Over the years, the programme has featured dance films (including those by artists featured in the in-person festival), performances, panel discussions and talks recorded live at the festival, artist interviews, audio works and articles.
The digital programme is available throughout the duration of the festival and as a bonus, also through the month of November.
The Digital Pass is £15 (£7 concession).
The Digital Pass gives online audiences access to the entire digital programme, 7 October – 30 November 2026.

The Digital Pass is available worldwide, apart from the follow locations:
China (excluding Hong Kong), Indonesia, Crimea, Cuba, Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), Luhansk People’s Republic (LPR), Iran, North Korea, and Syria.
This is due to Vimeo being blocked or sanctioned in these places.
