After our previous experience working with several other disabled artists, we noticed that the quality of life of these participants was remarkably enhanced by the physical work with which their bodies wouldn't otherwise be confronted.

One of our disabled artists from the previous creation (Cerebral Palsy sufferer and HIV+) realised that he was taller, gained more muscle control to manipulate his wheel chair, as well as experiencing hanging upside down for the first time in his life, strengthening his back and travelling to Trafalgar Square in London for the first time ever, not as a tourist but to perform for several thousand people (see article by Katherine Darton on our blog pages).

The routine to come and train once every two weeks gave him something to look forward to, which increased his mental well being. In conclusion, we firmly believe that all aspects of this work would be highly beneficial to all the participants as well as offering a proposal that could be used to create new shows and/or develop independent work by the disabled artists that are trained by us.

Our past work was based on programmes of HIV/AIDS awareness and related educational projects; we still feel very close to these issues, for which we continue to offer shows and workshops to schools and charities.
