Jamie Beddard, one of the UK's leading disabled theatre practitioners. He is a writer, actor, director and workshop leader as well as a trainer and consultant. Above it all, Jamie is an insisting advocate for the integrated sector, working tirelessly for change.
He is Co-Artistic Director for Diverse City, a performing arts company where social justice and culture meet and Lead Artist for Extraordinary Bodies, which is the UK’s leading professional and integrated circus company.
We talk to Jamie about his multi-faceted career so far, the barriers and the opportunities for the disabled in creative arts and how covid has affected these. We also discuss his view on how teachers and learning institutions can lead the way in accessibility for the performing arts, and how society can shift its focus on what disability is.
