Find out how learning disabled leaders in theatre and dance are challenging perceptions of the creative potential of disabled artists and breaking the boundaries in the performing arts.
In this short film, five learning disabled choreographers, performers and interdisciplinary artists from Serbia, Germany and the UK reflect on their sources of inspiration, the importance of taking on creative leadership roles and coming together both with other disabled artists and with non-disabled artists to share their experiences and exchange ideas, learn from each other, co-create and innovate.
This film is part of a series sharing insights from disabled artists who are taking part in Europe Beyond Access.
The programme is co-funded by the Creative Europe programme of the European Commission and the core partners are British Council (operating for this project in the UK and Poland), Kampnagel (Germany), Οnassis STEGI (Greece), Holland Dance Festival (The Netherlands), Per.Art (Serbia), Skånes Dansteater (Sweden), Festival Oriente Occidente (Italy).
