This year, we expanded our efforts by actively employing neurodivergent cast members, further diversifying our creative teams and performances. We also toured to Aspire Day Centres, engaging with audiences with learning disabilities and championing the importance of accessible theatre for all. These efforts have solidified SDA’s reputation as a company that prioritises inclusivity and equality in all its projects. In summary, SDA’s work this year has once again demonstrated our commitment to supporting creative practitioners, providing engaging and inclusive experiences for diverse audiences, and bringing live theatre to communities nationwide. Our ongoing dedication to these objectives ensures that SDA continues to make a lasting and positive impact through the power of storytelling and the arts.
