    EDWARD LEAR FOUNDATION 60 Bonham Road London SW2 5HG 020 7326 1811 Chronology of Disability Arts 1977- March 2003 by Allan Sutherland 1/6//05 Chronology of DisabilityArts 1/6/05 1 Introduction Context History is crucial to any culture, and it is essential to Disability Arts. It is through a sense of history that we define who we are, what journey we have undertaken and how far we have come. We also, implicitly, map out the future. By building upon the achievements of the past, as disability arts practitioners and the broader disability arts community, we can ensure that we are creating something solid that we hand down to those who come after us. But to be accessible to future generations, those achievements have to be documented. Otherwise, everything we do is transient, a superior form of occupational therapy. We might as well have been basket-weaving for the last twenty years. This process is particularly important for us as disabled people, because mainstream society devalues and marginalises so many of our achievements and struggles. We have to document our own culture, because it is not seen as significant enough to be documented in mainstream histories of the arts. We need to be able to hand something on to further generations that offers a vibrant view of disabled people, saying that there have been people like them before, and they created something of value, something that values them, something that is there for them to add to. And we can tell them the names of some of those people.
  • Harold Sanditen

    Harold Sanditen

    Harold Sanditen Harold was born in Oklahoma – you know, where the wind comes sweeping down the plain, Oklahoma – and has lived in London since 1987. In 2007, after 20 years as a UK based theatre producer, Harold decided to move on from producing and do something he’d always wanted to do – give singing/cabaret performance a try and see if he was any good at it! In September, 2008 he performed his first solo cabaret show, The Secret of Life, at The Duplex in New York. He figured if he was going to fail, it shouldn’t be on his home turf. The show was successful enough for Harold to bring it home to London, where he performed it in November, 2008 at Pizza on the Park. Harold’s second show, Love Exposed, was performed in London at Pizza on the Park as well as in New York at Don’t Tell Mama in 2009 and 2010. His third show, Thoughts ‘Round Midnight, was premiered in London at The Pheasantry in September 2010 and then in New York at Don’t Tell Mama in October. He reprised it at The Pheasantry in January 2011 prior to Chicago, New York and Hornchurch, Essex. Thoughts ‘Round Midnight returned to North America in June, 2011, where Harold made his Toronto, Los Angeles, San Diego and Palm Springs debuts. Thoughts ‘Round Midnight returned to The Pheasantry in October, 2011 and January, 2012. Shades of Blue, Harold’s fourth show, premiered in London at The Pheasantry in March 2012 and returned several times, as well as playing in New York at Don’t Tell Mama and The Metropolitan Room, in London at the Crazy Coqs, and at the Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame in Tulsa.

    Introduction to Ecovenue Ecovenue Is a Signifi Cant Theatre-Specifi C Environmental Project Being Run by the Theatres Trust

    Introduction to Ecovenue Ecovenue is a signifi cant theatre-specifi c environmental project being run by The Theatres Trust. It aims to improve the environmental performance of forty-eight London theatres and raise awareness of how to make theatres greener. Ecovenue is promoting the sustainability of theatres and the reduction of carbon emissions through the provision of free theatre-specifi c, environmental advice. The project started in 2009 and runs until 2012. Forty-eight venues each undergo an Environmental Audit, and receive a Display Energy Certifi cate (DEC) and Advisory Report. They track their energy use through SMEasure. Each venue receives a second DEC a year after their fi rst to measure progress. Ecovenue includes a ‘DEC Pool’ of performing arts venues across the UK that have obtained DECs. The DEC Pool helps us to evaluate the project and share best practice and information, establish meaningful benchmarks, and provide a better understanding of energy use of theatres. Any theatre can join the DEC Pool. The Trust’s Theatres Magazine provides quarterly reports on the participants and the work of the Ecovenue project. The Theatres Trust Ecovenue project receives fi nancial support from the European Regional Development Fund.

Now, the legendary ghost-whisperer and baddest bitch in the spirit world is coming to Manchester’s HOME for the very first time. Hell-bent on feeling love’s embrace, Séayoncé reawakens the soul of her past soulmate William Shakespeare into a voodoo doll, but by doing so they alert another possessive ex- whom Séayoncé left for the Bard- the darkest of demons himself… the Devil. Hell hath no fury like… the Devil scorned and he’s determined to stop this union and prove Séayoncé is a pure evil force just like him. It’s a camp celestial journey that would put Mystic Meg to shame, packed with expertly crafted jokes, voodoo and ex-lover drama.

Sep 7, 2016 THE GREAT DIVIDE by Alix Sobler Finborough Theatre 4th - 20th September 2016 ‘Seamless performances and thought-provoking writing’ ★★★★ Based on real events in New York, 1911 “The Great Divide” is a cleverly constructed hard-hitting drama that centres on the struggles of a group of young female Triangle Shirtwaist Factory workers fighting for better working conditions and unionisation. Rosa, a Jewish immigrant, tells the story of her life and role in a general strike. Although the strike is successful, the workers concerns about Health & Safety are not addressed and the ending is inevitable – 146 workers are killed in a subsequent fire. Lauded playwright Alix Sobler skilfully weaves human stories into the politics of the play and whilst maintaining its historical context, “The Great Divide” manages to make a powerful statement about the lack of workers’ rights today. “We tell the story over and over in the hopes that they will learn,” says Rosa of future generations, but we still have sweatshops, appalling conditions for immigrant workers and horrific factory accidents that are preventable. Sobler gives a voice to the nameless women who lost their lives that day and through Rosa we get to know the people behind the tragedy that shaped workplace reform in America. “The point is you were a person Rosa and that is why they’ll care,” assures her friend when Rosa doubts that we, the audience, are interested in her plight. She believes that she and her friends are lost in history and rather than changing the world, the lessons of their deaths go unheeded.

Sadly that is not possible right now, but we’re determined to continue to champion all the artists who were to perform on our stages this week, so we’ve taken the decision with Mercury Musical Developments and Musical Theatre Network to still publish this year’s BEAM programme, to salary and continue to support all the artists who were due mercurymusicals.com to perform during this week’s showcase and to encourage all who were due to attend to share and distribute their work with one another online. We are so grateful to those of you who were due to be attending this week who have kindly donated the cost of your ticket towards helping us to pay our artists and freelancers. Many of you who attended the UK Musical Theatre Conference here last year will have heard us talk of our commitment to developing new musical theatre for mid-scale regional venues and tours. We’ve had a thrilling year since in which we’ve hosted dozens of artists in Northampton to create original work in partnership with Perfect Pitch, China Plate, Musical Theatre Network, Mercury Musical Developments, Scottish Opera and Improbable. Thanks to the support of an Arts Council England “Ambition For Excellence” grant and partnerships with several midscale venues nationwide, we’re also excited to be able to announce that five of the projects we’ve developed here this year have been fully commissioned.
