For too long, neurodivergent artists have been excluded from theatre spaces—whether through rigid expectations, fast-paced processes, or environments that are not built with accessibility in mind.

Much of her work centers on creating space for Rwandan voices, especially in response to the Rwandan genocide. Through her work, she brings together artists…

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM), and this month we are holding space for a deeper, global conversation around theatre, healing, and resilience.

Theatre from the Streets Round 1 Part 1 was powerful to me because it presented theatre in a nontraditional format that allowed people to speak directly about the realities of their lives.
