I really enjoyed my recent visit to @nytofgb.bsky.social to celebrate @rampsonthemoon.bsky.social at ‘Constellations of Change’. It’s terrific that @thestage.co.uk have covered this important work too. Proud board member! www.thestage.co.uk/news/news-fe...

How well is theatre tackling accessibility for disabled artists?
The Stage reports from last month's Constellations of Change symposium to hear how the latest thinking from industry figures on where it is making progress with accessibility for disabled artists

Our cohort came back together for the Session 8 of our Change Programme. We looked at Irresistible Momentum. How it happens, and explored how our personal values align with those of the organisations we work within. Have you ever thought about what your personal values are? #antiableism #values

Since our Cohort came together at the RSC we’ve had a lot to think about. Director Amy Leach shared this brilliant thought: "Removing barriers doesn’t undermine the freedom and privilege to fail. In fact, it makes braver work possible." #Theatre #RemovingBarriers Photo by Steffi Njoya

Being an ally is more than good intentions, it’s viable in our actions. We’re exploring what allyship means with some of our disabled allies. What it could look like to move from ‘helping people’ to becoming an accomplice. We’d love you to comment below. #RampsOnTheMoon #disabilityally

Ableism is systemic discrimination of disabled people. Privileging certain bodies + minds, while marginalising disabled people. Anti-Ableism is actively challenging it. It’s the work of dismantling those barriers. So disabled people can fully participate, lead, and flourish. #Ableism #AntiAbleism
The background is dark blue with a red banner below. There is white text asking, “what is Ableism and why do we need Anti-Ableism”.
