“Unlimited was the best festival experience
and fun for me, ever. It worked on so many
levels - people, planning, programming, work,
setting, context - but there was more than that,
which seemed to come from the ethos you
generated, of getting everyone talking, meeting
each other, feeling relaxed and included. It was
a blast of fresh air that won't ever disappear”.
Bobby Baker, Artist 2012
2012 & 2014 SOUTHBANK CENTRE
I created the Festival framework and curated a showcase of extraordinary new work by deaf and disabled artists. Major commissions spanning dance, visual art, music, theatre and international collaborations, plus a programme of talks, workshops and events for all ages.
Unlimited created myriad opportunities for Southbank Centre to evaluate and address key aspects of its operation, namely the training of staff, the physical access of its site, the accessibility of events, its printed and marketing materials, and the suitability of its welcome to disabled visitors. Unlimited continues as a biennial event, the world’s pre-eminent showcase for disability arts and the benchmark for international best practice.
