I am so grateful to Amy Leach for introducing me to the Associate Director of Leeds Playhouse, Sameena Hussain - and for the chance to join her workshop!

The course was a mixture of large and smaller group discussions, independent tasks/reflections, games and exercises. All of this explored diversity within our small group and Theatre, discussing what accessibility means to us (coming from different cultural backgrounds, with disabilities, or neurodivergence)

What it means to be a Director, and be kind? How to support your fellow actors, and not compromise the creative work that you are growing.

It was a worthwhile and intense 5 days, that raised many questions and values, and practices that I will bring forward with me into my work.
