Dance, Art and Technology Collaboration

Sussex Dance Network with support from Move South East are bringing together collaborators from dance, art and technology. These experts spent the day exploring how their expertise can open up new possibilities for ‘Enayball’ an art tool that allows anyone in a wheelchair, including highly paralysed people, to independently create large scale drawings. 


Collaborators are as follows:

We are Eli and Pete, two product designers and friends with a passion for inclusive design. We studied together, lived together and now we work together!


We believe in the enormous power of user-centred design and the impact it can make on societal issues. We recognised the marginalisation of people with disabilities in the creative community, in particular that their needs for products were unserved.

We want to challenge this. So we created Enayball. Enayball is an electronic tool that makes traditional art equipment accessible. It can be attached to a wheelchair, drawing on the floor as the person moves their chair. It can also be used on a tabletop by hand, supporting people with dexterity issues
