Y Connect Peer Networking Event - Careers in the Arts Industry
Event description
The arts are necessary for our health and well-being. So what does disability look like for those working in the industry and for the audience? We all agree seeing more disabled actors is desirable and not just in roles specifically written for them either. Seeing disabled actors play roles where the focus is the character who may just happen to be disabled is what we are working towards. Come and join Sarah Styles to discuss what steps we can take to achieve this. Not just for written roles, but also for behind the scenes work and how to get work in this space.
