Mind the Gap Chickens take flight

Our latest festival offering, Chicken Coup! is already proving a popular piece on the national and international festival circuit.  This larger than life, strut-about show proved the taking point at the 2010 Bradford Mela and has been commissioned for the Barnsley Diversity Festival on 25th and 26th September.  Before this the three chickens, along with celebrity chef Crispin Duck, will jet off to Southern Germany to be a part of the Alles Muss Raus festival.

Places still available on the Dance-Theatre Summer School

There are still a few places available on the Have a Go Week: Dance Theatre Summer School, Monday 26th to Friday 30th July.  See the Workshop pages or phone us now on 01274 487390 to get involved.

I’m with Stupid MashUp 360 goes live

Over 50 young people with learning disabilities (13 – 25) have taken part in a project we have been running called I’m with Stupid.  The aim of the project was to challenge the negative images of young disabled people as shown in the media.  Ideas Forum Chair Alison Short said:
“I’m with Stupid is all about how the media show young people with learning disabilities. They are shown as helpless and defensive. This is a stereotype that needs to end!”.
