I have some space for more clients in the second half of this year. I provide training, consultancy, easy read documents, and am focused on creative accessibility rather than access as an add on. Get in touch if you are interested: [email protected]
We are casting for an ACE funded paid theatre R&D in Brighton over the next few months. We are looking for 4 disabled performers. We are particularly interested in applications from global majority performers. The piece involves improv and puppetry: linktr.ee/chronicviolencepup…

I am hearted by how many more accounts include alt text than when I started this course. But there are still some big names, who know better who still don't do it.
If you want to learn how to write Alt Text there are a few tickets left:

Just a couple of tickets left for this course!
We will cover how to write Alt Text and Video Descriptions and how to build them into your current social media activities in a sustainable way. We’ll also look at how to ensure your image design is accessible and inclusive.
Do you include alt text on all your images?
Do you include a video description on all your videos?
Do you know how to design an accessible advert?
If you answered 'no' to any of the above my course Accessible Social media Basics can help!

Feeling really down after this morning. I never thought as a disabled teenager that if I made it to the age of 60 (next year) I'd not only be facing the same inaccessible environment but would now be a public enemy. Imagine being a disabled teen today? Jeezus.

Disabled people are more than 25% of the population.
Disabled people are not a niche group.
We don’t need disability awareness.
We need ableism awareness and action to combat disability discrimination.
Thanks to some wonderful advice from fellow improvisers:
1) 50% and 25% cost tickets are available for both events for those who could not attend otherwise.
