Description
Giving and Taking Voice in Learning Disabled Theatre offers a unique perspective on the concept of 'voice' in learning disabled theatre. Drawing on 18 years of experience with Different Light Theatre company, Tony McCaffrey explores the practical aesthetics of theatre-making and its wider ethical and political implications.
This book is based on extensive interviews with performers, rehearsal recordings, and informal logs from the company's travels. It presents a case for how listening to learning-disabled artists can encourage attunement to indigenous knowledge and the planet's current socio-ecological crisis.
A valuable resource for anyone involved in making theatre with people with intellectual disabilities, this book provides insights into balancing care and support with artistic challenge and rigour.
