Work in Progress is a new performance from Square Pegs Arts Theatre Company challenging misconceptions of employment for disabled workers.

Developed with Square Pegs Theatre Company members, the show uses verbatim methods to turn a creative lens on the experiences of disabled people seeking employment, from the challenges and rejections of interviews to the perceptions of disabled people’s “suitability” for work. 

After the performance there will be a Q&A session as part of development for this new show, to hear your ideas and responses to the piece.

Elevate Extra – Work in Progress

Wed 29 April

ART31

ART31 takes its name from Article 31 of the UN Convention on the Rights of a Child, which states that ‘Children have the right to relax and play, and to join in a wide range of cultural, artistic and other recreational activities’.

ART31 is a vision created with, by, and for young people in Kent, championing the belief that all children and young people have an entitlement to access high quality arts and culture, to empower them to achieve their creative potential, and to genuinely engage young people as equal partners in any decision making that affects them.

The ART31 Youth Board is made up of young people from across Kent aged 13-25 who steer its governance, and influence policy and practice across the county and beyond, challenging the creative sector to examine existing ways of working and integrate young people into the core of their practice.
