My social media timelines are currently full of posts about the Edinburgh Fringe. It hadn’t been on my radar until recently, because for a Clinically Extremely Vulnerable (CEV) artist like me, the risks of COVID are still significant, so watching or making theatre hasn’t yet felt safe.…

We’ve been in Germany for a couple of days. It’s our first in-person international work since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. We’re here for Festival Theaterformen and next week we’ll be sharing a new piece called Journey To A Better World.…

Back in February, I had the pleasure of announcing our Young Artists Development Programme – a new and exciting opportunity for disabled artists in the early stages of their careers, to develop and experiment with their creative practices.
