This Is How We Do It: Making Opportunities for Disabled Artist
Free online sessions exploring different ways of working.
Strike A Light and TwoCan Theatre have partnered on a new Artist in Residence programme for disabled artists based in Gloucestershire.
🗓 Wednesday 18 March
⏰ 1pm – 2pm
📍 Online (via zoom)
🎟 Free (but booking required)
Join Nickie, Artistic Director of TwoCan Theatre and Emma Jane, Artistic Director of Strike A Light, as they chat about about the programme – why we wanted to make it happen, why partnership felt essential, and why opportunities like this matter.
We’ll talk about:
🔥 Why dedicated opportunities for disabled artists are important
🔥 Why this work matters to us as organisations and what change it will make
🔥 The benefits of partnership working
🔥 The challenges and how we might navigate them together
TwoCan Theatre are Gloucestershire’s pioneering disabled-led theatre company, creating opportunities for deaf, learning disabled and neurodivergent artists, participants and audiences.
Strike A Light are excited to be partnering with TwoCan Theatre and continuing building this relationship to support disabled artists and audiences across Gloucestershire.
