About this event

This access-led spoken word workshop centres disabled and neurodivergent lived experience, using poetry as a tool for self-expression, agency, and narrative control.

The session is designed to be calm, flexible, and low-pressure, with multiple ways to participate (writing, listening, thinking, or sharing).

No previous writing or performance experience is required.

 

Tuesday 24th March, 6-7pm

AccessAbility Arts is a Midlands-based unincorporated association championing inclusive and accessible creativity,  providing opportunities for people of all abilities to express themselves through spoken word, writing, exhibitions, workshops, talks, and publishing initiatives.

Co-founded by DK and Lisa, the organisation is driven by lived experience, artistic excellence, and a strong commitment to breaking down barriers in the arts. Through dynamic programmes, regional events, and growing community networks, AccessAbility Arts nurtures diverse voices, celebrates talent, and creates welcoming spaces where creativity, connection, and inclusion thrive.
