Happy Disability Pride Month!!

DIRECTOR CALL-OUT: I’m directing another 10 eps of a long running continuing drama and am setting up opportunities to shadow me. I’m especially interested in hearing from BESEA and/or female filmmakers and I’ll be covering all expenses. Please get in touch if you’re interested.

Our creative director @knockback78 is working in Germany this week, talking & facilitating workshops about audience access. Plus visiting an exciting festival space for Robo-Lab. Amazing!!

Excited for a week of devising on the theme I'm Possible with our TwoCan Academy. A great morning so far full of Oranges, Ostriches, Polar Bears & pizzas.

Rehearsals are underway for Academy 1 sharing at 12.30pm today. It's looking ace! Trips to the moon, signed song, catching stars. After only 3 hours per day for the week I am smiling. It's all possible! Louise P & TwoCan staff are legends!

The audience are in. Actors are ready. Our first young company sharing today. Group 1 are going to rock it!

And now group 2. A fab performance is going to be had! Incredibly if what we've made in 4 afternoons!!

And that's a wrap! A fantastic week, stories created, songs sang and lots of dancing. So proud of all the young people this week. Thank you for being amazing!

It has been amazing having @knockback78 back with TwoCan and the team creating magic with a fabulous group of young people. Great work from everyone.
