Theatre for Young People with Down’s Syndrome
A presentation by Miles Steer
I’m Miles, and my brother has Down’s Syndrome. He deserves the same opportunities as anyone else, and so do all young people with additional needs. That’s why I ran workshops focused on theatre for young people with learning disabilities, particularly those with Down’s Syndrome.
In this session, I’ll share what worked well during the workshops, the challenges I faced, and the key lessons I learned about preparing and adapting theatre activities for a group of young people with additional needs.
