Separate Doors is coming to Derby Theatre in January, along with its national integrated ensemble of 13 actors with, and without, learning disabilities and neuro-diversities, as part of their Writing Tomorrow’s Theatre project.
Working on four new short plays by writers Elizabeth Kuti, Lydia Marchant, Sarah Middleton and Lou Ramsden, the company will host a series of FREE workshops and invite theatre professionals, students, and makers to learn about their unique way of making theatre for everyone – the Silent Approach.
Their method, The Silent Approach, offers a way for non-disabled directors, actors, writers, and producers to include learning disabled and neuro-diverse people and actors in general audience programming.
Their major project, Writing Tomorrow’s Theatre, offers training for professionals in the potential of integrated theatre made using an inclusive approach.
