Vici Wreford-Sinnott

Anti-ableist Practices - knowledge for action for change

This Professional Development for Arts Staff will discuss Disabled Narratives in Drama and anti-ableist practices aimed at theatre, television and film companies, organisations and venues. Join us online on Friday 19th April 2024 from 13.30-15.00 BST. This is a Pay What You Decide event and we will email you details of how to pay after you have booked.Please note these sessions are for the professional development and training of arts staff from venues and arts organisations only. Thank you. Over the last five years we have seen a significant increase in the numbers of arts professionals, companies, galleries and theatres, acknowledging the missing voices and art work of disabled artists, with allies coming forward.We also know that data has shown the dearth of employment in the arts of disabled people, and fair minded and equitable arts organisations naturally want to address this, knowing their organisations and their work will be richer for including this missing community.Ableism has been a default setting for far too long, but it is also a choice. Organisations need to acknowledge the pluralism of our communities and make active choices to remove ableism from their practice and from their organisations.Join us to begin, or extend, your active journey into anti-ableism. The session will be led by Vici Wreford-Sinnott who has championed disability equity for over 30 years. She is a leading figure in the UK Disability Arts Movement, and an acclaimed writer / director for stage and screen. She is currently completing PhD practice based research into performance, representation and reflection of disability in British Theatre.Access - please complete your access requirements when booking.Cancellation - we understand that circumstances change. If you are no longer able to attend please let us know to free up your place for another disabled artist.
