We’re a month away from Valentine’s Day, and if like Touretteshero, you and your family love inclusive, disabled-led, creative play, our event Return of the Rebels on Saturday 14th February is for you.
We’ve teamed up with the Whitechapel Gallery for Return of the Rebels, the second free, Rebel Play event that uses the positive play experiences of disabled children and adults as a creative springboard.…
It’s New Years Eve, a time when it’s natural to reflect on the year just gone and on what we’ve achieved. When I was planning what to include in my end-of-year post, everything that came to mind made me to think about things we’re due to do in the year ahead.…
So that’s another year done! In just a few hours we’ll say goodbye to 2023 and welcome in the New Year. For the Touretteshero team, 2023’s been a year of contrasts. We’ve had incredible moments of joy, making and touring new work and becoming an Arts Council England (ACE) National Portfolio Organisation (NPO), and Biscuitland was nominated for a BAFTA!…
We’re just a day away from Christmas, a time that in addition to an abundance of fairy lights and Santa hats, can also be full of apprehension and pressure. For disabled, neurodivergent or chronically ill people this season can have extra complexities whether they’re around managing energy, social interactions, dietary requirements, navigating access barriers or coping with the many depictions of ‘Tiny Tim’!…
I’ve had a new tic for the last few weeks. It’s frequent and consistent and leading to lots of conversations, some intense, some interesting, and some challenging.

We’re back in London after the first week of touring Burnt Out In Biscuit Land. We came back through central London which is already heaving with flags for the coronation next week.
I read an article about the pledge of allegiance that will form part of the coronation ceremony.…
Since last Tuesday we’ve been in Istanbul. I’d been mentally writing this post all week, excited to share one of the few bits of international work we’ve done since the start of the pandemic. But this won’t be the blog post I was planning because just hours after we left, Turkey and Syria were hit by a huge earthquake which has caused massive loss of life and left many more homeless.…
Over the last couple of weeks, the Touretteshero Team has been resting and relaxing, the Christmas holidays being the only time each year that we all stop together. This has given me a chance to think about everything we’ve done together this year.…
I woke up this morning to feelings I haven’t experienced in almost three years. It’s the unique mix of tiredness, contentment, and relief that follows any largescale activity we’ve ever organised. Last night the Touretteshero team held our first big event since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020.…
