@g_ting Hello 👋 we’re at the very start of applying for funding to explore what an ND friendly development process looks like.

[Nous Theatre - Midlands ND Theatre Netwok @UseYourNous]

Read this last year it’s a brilliantly funny and enjoyable read. Highly recommend to NDs and NTs alike.

The industry does not do enough to support D/deaf, disabled and neurodivergent freelancers. 🧵👇

For years, I’ve been scared to come out as autistic, because I simply can’t anticipate the professional implications. I know that lots of neurodivergent people working in media/entertainment/journalism feel the same. There are so many more of us than you think. #ActuallyAutistic

@Arena_Theatre Our AD was invited to rehearsals of this last week. It's a joyous celebration of dyspraxics and how we move in this NT world. Book your tickets now folks!

FLAPPY

This is a show about Holly, a dyspraxic living in this neurotypical world. Expect some joy, some frustration, and rather a lot of exaggerated arm movements.

BSL interpreted, audio-described and captioned.

Looking to expand my network of LGBTQ+ performance artists in the midlands who also identify as disabled.

Say hi if that’s you!

"What would next year's BAFTAs look like if every single person in this room tonight made a pledge, a pledge to put us on the agenda, to put us on every single agenda and for the first time in our industry's history, put disability centre stage." - @TripleC_UK

Neurodivergent people are repeatedly asked to adapt and change their behaviour and fit in within Neurotypical systems, but those systems never ask how they can be flexible and adapt to us.

[Nous Theatre - Midlands ND Theatre Netwok @UseYourNous]

This was a great event, if you've sent us a message following on from this event we will get back to you over the next couple of days.
