  • Disability and Music

    Disability and Music

    th nd 19 November to 22 December UKDHM 2018 will focus on Disability and Music. We want to explore the links between the experience of disablement in a world where the barriers faced by people with impairments can be overwhelming. Yet the creative impulse, urge for self expression and the need to connect to our fellow human beings often ‘trumps’ the oppression we as disabled people have faced, do face and will face in the future. Each culture and sub-culture creates identity and defines itself by its music. ‘Music is the language of the soul. To express ourselves we have to be vibrating, radiating human beings!’ Alasdair Fraser. Born in Salford in 1952, polio survivor Alan Holdsworth goes by the stage name ‘Johnny Crescendo’. His music addresses civil rights, disability pride and social injustices, making him a crucial voice of the movement and one of the best-loved performers on the disability arts circuit. In 1990 and 1992, Alan co- organised Block Telethon, a high-profile media and community campaign which culminated in the demise of the televised fundraiser. His albums included Easy Money, Pride and Not Dead Yet, all of which celebrate disabled identity and critique disabling barriers and attitudes. He is best known for his song Choices and Rights, which became the anthem for the disabled people’s movement in Britain in the late 1980s and includes the powerful lyrics: Choices and Right That’s what we gotta fight for Choices and rights in our lives I don’t want your benefit I want dignity from where I sit I want choices and rights in our lives I don’t want you to speak for me I got my own autonomy I want choices and rights in our lives https://youtu.be/yU8344cQy5g?t=14 The polio virus attacked the nerves.

  • Box Office Briefing Notes

    Box Office Briefing Notes

    BOX OFFICE BRIEFING NOTES ABOUT REASONS TO BE CHEERFUL Celebrating the infectious music of Ian Dury and the Blockheads, REASONS TO BE CHEERFUL is a punk rock musical and gritty coming of age tale, which always leaves audiences shouting for more. Featuring Ian Dury and the Blockheads’ greatest hits including Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll, Sweet Gene Vincent, Spasticus Autisticus and Hit Me with your Rhythm Stick this acclaimed show will fill the theatre with raucous glee! The show is also full of protest and placards, highlighting the fact that the welfare cuts that D/deaf and disabled people faced in the 1970s are the same cuts that they are facing now, almost 40 years later. Audiences don’t need to be existing fans of Ian Dury and the Blockheads music – the show ignites passion, and audiences will come out feeling energised, uplifted and loving the music if they didn’t already! ‘It’s energising, it’s moving, it’s enormous fun. It comes as close as you can get to a 1979 Ian Dury and the Blockheads gig. This is how theatre should be!’ Jemima Dury, daughter of Ian Dury ‘Rough, ready and bl**dy brilliant’ Time Out ACCESSIBILITY As with all Graeae shows, all performances of Reasons to be Cheerful will include creative audio description, British Sign Language and captioning, meaning it is fully accessible to a D/deaf and disabled audience. All of the accessibility services will be woven creatively into the show, meaning they add to the aesthetic as well as ensure the show is fully accessible.

    And Graeae Theatre (UK) Theatre’S Impact

    “Disability on Stage”: The DisAbility Project (USA) and Graeae Theatre (UK) Theatre’s Impact on Disabled Actors: A Comparative Study Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jonathan Wayne Kochensparger, M. Ed. Graduate Program in Theatre The Ohio State University 2019 Dissertation Committee Lesley Ferris, Advisor Beth Kattelman Joseph Brandesky Karen Mozingo Copyright by Jonathan Wayne Kochensparger 2019 ABSTRACT Few opportunities and many challenges exist in professional theatre for performers who have disabilities in the United States and in the United Kingdom. Joan Lipkin leads a community theatre group in St. Louis, Missouri in the United States that provides opportunities for disabled actors to perform live theatre encompassing original material that is focused on bringing disabilities to the forefront of each production. Likewise, Jenny Sealey leads a professional theatrical company in London, England called The Graeae Theatre. Graeae hires disabled artists as actors, writers and producers. Graeae is leading the way in changing perceptions of non-disabled people and showing the world that disabled artists have important work to perform. This dissertation examines the impact theatre has on the quality of lives of disabled actors and civil rights gains achieved for them by examining the history of disablity theatre in a comparison study of the DisAbility Project of the United States and Graeae Theatre of the United Kingdom. It covers work by disability scholars in a field that is in its beginning stages historically and shows how far this discussion has come since the passage of the ADA in the United States in 1990.

  • Reasons to Be Cheerful an Easy Read Story

    Reasons to Be Cheerful an Easy Read Story

    Reasons to be Cheerful An Easy Read Story About the play Reasons To Be Cheerful is a play. This is a story told by people acting on stage. The words the actors say will be shown on different parts of the stage. You might see people in the audience wearing headphones. They are listening to someone saying the movements of the actors. This is called audio description. There is music in the play. The music is quite loud. Sometimes the characters might shout. The play happens in 1981 in a pub called the Old Red Lion in Essex. This play is about some people putting on a play. Some of the actors will pretend to be different people during the story. The Characters I am Vinnie. I work in a supermarket. I love Ian Dury and the Blockheads. Me and my friends have written a play. I am Colin. I am Vinnie’s best friend. We work at the supermarket together. I’m a punk. I hate my boss! I am Janine. I am friends with Vinnie and Colin and I work at the supermarket, too. I am Nick. I am Vinnie’s friend. In the play Vinnie wrote, I play his boss called Dave. When I am pretending to be Dave I wear a false arm. I play in the band, too. I am Pat. I am Vinnie’s mum. I look after Vinnie’s dad when he is ill. I used to work at the supermarket. I am Debbie. I made up all the dances. I sign some of the things people say and sing in the play.
