“Which wouldn’t happen, of course, if they were dancing without crutches. It’s showing disabilities in a positive way.”

Mr Pettitt-Wade said having international attractions was important.

Cardiff’s Stammermouth Theatre Company has a show about obsessive-compulsive disorder and unwanted thoughts called “Choo Choo!”.

The festival also visited Bangor and Llanelli.
