Congratulations to @RinkooBarpaga for winning the Deaf Action Award from @NDSreview at this year's #EdFringe thestage.co.uk/news/rinkoo-ba…
@g_ting Let’s chat!
@g_ting Hello 👋 we’re at the very start of applying for funding to explore what an ND friendly development process looks like.
Read this last year it’s a brilliantly funny and enjoyable read. Highly recommend to NDs and NTs alike.
The industry does not do enough to support D/deaf, disabled and neurodivergent freelancers. 🧵👇
Pure dyspraxic energy, anger and joy in tonight’s performance of @hollydclark’s Flappy @Arena_Theatre
Can’t wait to see this! Don’t miss out book your ticket now!
4 days to go! Performing Flappy at Arena Theatre, Wolverhampton 27th May. Book tickets here: bit.ly/3yVfxJq
See you next Friday yeah? Yeah? YEAH???
We're on countdown until Holly Clark brings Flappy to our main auditorium next week! ⏳ This performance will also be BSL interpreted, audio described and captioned, with a touch tour taking place at 6.00pm 🙌 📅 Friday 27th May 🕣 7.30pm 🎟️ bit.ly/FlappyArenaThe…
Our Practical Intervention Fund can provide non-medical, practical items that support wellbeing for disabled, neurodivergent & chronically ill adults & kids in the UK, including those waiting for a diagnosis touretteshero.com/2022/05/12/pif… @SDA_Southwark @DPs_DASL @GMCDP @InclusionLondon
For years, I’ve been scared to come out as autistic, because I simply can’t anticipate the professional implications. I know that lots of neurodivergent people working in media/entertainment/journalism feel the same. There are so many more of us than you think. #ActuallyAutistic
@Arena_Theatre Our AD was invited to rehearsals of this last week. It's a joyous celebration of dyspraxics and how we move in this NT world. Book your tickets now folks!
FLAPPY This is a show about Holly, a dyspraxic living in this neurotypical world. Expect some joy, some frustration, and rather a lot of exaggerated arm movements. BSL interpreted, audio-described and captioned. 27 May 7.30pm @Arena_theatre ➡️ bit.ly/3kTSczS
Looking to expand my network of LGBTQ+ performance artists in the midlands who also identify as disabled. Say hi if that’s you!
"What would next year's BAFTAs look like if every single person in this room tonight made a pledge, a pledge to put us on the agenda, to put us on every single agenda and for the first time in our industry's history, put disability centre stage." - @TripleC_UK
@NDcreativesUK Nous Theatre championing Neurodiverse theatre makers, removing obstacles and creating real change in the theatre making community across the midlands.
@SamuelCDunstan @IngoodcoEM @SanfeyL @Mr_Gabrielli There's also @NDcreativesUK @everybrainuk @TriplePerformer doing work in this area.
@IngoodcoEM @SanfeyL @SamuelCDunstan @Mr_Gabrielli Hi @SamuelCDunstan, we're Nous Theatre a ND Theatre Company based in the Midlands but happy to talk to any ND artist, feel free to email us or pass our email on via [email protected]
Neurodivergent people are repeatedly asked to adapt and change their behaviour and fit in within Neurotypical systems, but those systems never ask how they can be flexible and adapt to us.
This was a great event, if you've sent us a message following on from this event we will get back to you over the next couple of days.
Thank you to all the wonderful creatives who came to our online Creative Meet Up this evening 🌏 Big shout out to @Arena_Theatre for hosting & our amazing guest speaker @UseYourNous 🎭 Please keep in touch 💚 #EcoBallPlay ♻️
