Within Sight is coming to London!
Renton’s soft-spoken but hard-hitting poetic theatre dismantles ableism, inspiration porn, and the myth of the Paralympics.
June 9th as part of the Last Words festival at @RoundhouseLDN. Captioned, BSL by Jo Ross.

Touring this show has been a long and bumpy and joyful thing - we can't wait to bring it @RoundhouseLDN on Friday, a venue that has such fond performing memories for me. The show will be captioned and BSL interpreted by Jo Ross.
Since the beginning of last year, I've been supported by the @EdMorganTrust and @disabilityarts as an associate artist. This exhibition brings together all of my research and writing about seeing / photography / image description / instamatics and truth.
... and our second piece of news this week is that we are part of the digital programme for No Limits Festival in Hong Kong! The Within Sight film is available to watch in English or Cantonese here, in various accessible formats

To mark Disability History Month, I've been working with @SustransScot to create a poetry trail. The project responds to the history of blind institutions in Edinburgh, and more generally, the topic of work among blind and partially sighted people.
