Access Ensemble: For Ages 18+ Living With Disability
Access acting, music and movement exercises designed to stimulate the creative imagination and develop skills in personal and creative self expression. Designed to cater for people with mild to moderate physical and/or intellectual disability, these workshops are a fantastic weekly creative outlet, which allow participants to work towards a performance outcome.
Run over an 8-week term, we are proud to offer two programs as part of our Access Ensemble. Choose from:
- Young Adults Ensemble for emerging artists aged 18 -26
- Adults Ensemble for artists aged 26+
Support workers are welcome to sit in on all workshops.
We strongly recommend all staff and visitors (12 years and older) wear masks inside The Joan.
