Access. It’s a word we hear about all the time and that we champion. And now it’s inadvertently filtered into the mainstream as everyone deploys social distancing. So for anyone who needs it, here’s a useful resource that gives you ACCESS to endless open content. Educational resources for e-learning. Virtual retreats to art, culture, and history around the globe. #Covid19 #StaySafe #workfromhome #socialdistancing https://t.co/ga4LTOYTpk?amp=1

In September 2019, Spectra commissioned Arts Journalist and Theatre Critic, Bella Todd to write a report on improving critical engagement with theatre made by artists with learning disabilities. This report is a response to a growing sense that theatre criticism is failing to keep up with the increasingly professional, interesting and artistically driven work being made by theatre companies working with artists with learning disabilities. Today we are launching both the Executive Summary and the Full Report as an invitation to theatre critics, industry influencers, performance makers and neurodiverse artists to join in a wider conversation about how we shift the status quo. You can download the Full Report and Executive Summary on Spectra’s website here: https://wearespectra.co.uk/2020/02/09/launch/ And continue the conversation here or contact Spectra’s Creative Director Kate DeRight on kate@wearespectra.co.uk With thanks to all 16 of the contributing theatre companies and 19 theatre critics for their insightful contributions @notyourcircusdog @aaatheatre @mtgstudios @open_theatre_co @lawnmowersitc @hubbubtheatre @hijinxtheatre @headwayarts @lunghatheatre @aboutfacetheatre @blink.dance.theatre @blueteapottheatre @diytheatreco @dragsyndrome @headwayarts #acalltocritique #artsandculture #integratedtheatre #theatreforthefuture

1 - How you can help us? We want to engage in a wider conversation with audiences, performance makers, critics, neurodiverse artists, venues, industry influencers and disruptors as to how theatre made by integrated theatre companies can sit amongst mainstream companies and be seen and regarded as equal to their mainstream counterparts. Tomorrow we’ll launch a report that investigates this topic to get the conversation started. #integratedtheatre #artsandculture #Theatreforthefuture

2 - What does the future look like? We want our work to create a ripple effect, for our audiences to take what they’ve experienced and change the world. We are more than the sum of our parts when we work together and there is joy to have and share in so much that surrounds us. #Bethechange #Immersivetheatre

3 - How long have we been going? Spectra was founded in 2013 and, over the last seven years, has created eight productions that were performed to 9,700 audience; we’ve run roughly 395 workshop/creation sessions; and one symposium. #integratedtheatre #immersive #playful #artsandculture
