Training

Theatre Terrific crafts transformative, inclusive theatre by bringing together artists of all abilities. We challenge conventional ideas of performance, celebrate neurodiversity and d/Disability culture, and demonstrate that every voice has a story, and every body belongs on stage. By bringing our unique theatre facilitation to new audiences, we hope to spark conversation and consideration about the power of theatre to bring about change in perspectives.
