Access All Areas
Take Part - Celebrating performance created by Learning Disabled and Autistic adults.
Take Part makes performing arts accessible to Learning Disabled and Autistic (LDA) adults. As a result, LDA people see their stories and experiences shared and celebrated, become part of a creative community and experience improved confidence and wellbeing. The project will dramatically reduce isolation, often extremely high in this community and support participants to progress into training or paid employment in the arts.
