WE CONTINUE WITH OUR ONGOING PROGRAMS WHICH INCLUDE: OUR SOUND AND VOICE PODCAST SERIES - (NEW EPISODE) THE REFRAIN GETTING IN SYNC WITH THE WORLD OUT LONG FORM VIDEO NARRATIVE - TRANS: EXPERIMENTS IN LIVING (AFTER HEALTH DELAYS TO BE COMPLETED AT THE END OF MARCH) AND OUR UP COMING ALL-ABILITIES LIVE PERFORMANCE - IN THE FOREST OF DREAMS. CREATING ALL ABILITIES PERFORMANCES THAT FOREGROUND ARTISTS WITH DISABILITIES IS AN EXPANSION OF OUR MANDATE. THE STRUCTURE OF THE COMPANY AND ITS CREATIONS DO NOT CHANGE BUT AFTER INTENSE WORK WITH THEATRE ARTISTS WITH DISABILITIES OVER THE PAST YEAR WE HAVE NOW MADE IT PART OF OUR VISION TO NORMALIZE HAVING ARTISTS WITH DISABILITIES ON STAGE IN OUR WORK. OUR COMPANY HAS A HISTORY OF WORKING WITH AND FEATURING ARTISTS WITH DISABILITIES BUT WE NOW WISH TO MAKE THIS A REGULAR PART OF OUR PRACTICE.
