A performer, eyes-wide, stares ahead. Their hands covered in red paint, with floral wreaths around their neck and warm coloured flowers in the background.

An impassioned interrogation on the how, and most essentially why, access makes art great.

Caroline Bowditch leads a rich discussion with Jenny Sealey (Joint CEO/Artistic Director, Graeae Theatre Company) and Robert Softly Gale (Artistic Director & CEO, Birds of Paradise Theatre Company). The three share their experience of embedding access into the dramaturgy of performance - a practice they've been cultivating, evaluating, and reimagining for decades. The panellists discuss how access adds to and can transform both the creative and audience experience.
