Europe Beyond Access

Supporting disabled artists to break the glass ceilings of contemporary dance & theatre

Across the performing arts and across Europe, disabled artists are pushing the boundaries of form, and are presenting audiences, fellow artists and arts professionals with one of the creative opportunities of our time.

Since 2018, Europe Beyond Access has:

  • Supported disabled artists to internationalise their artistic innovations and their careers.
  • Developed a network of leading mainstream organisations with a commitment to present and commission at the highest level.
  • Built European audiences interested in high-quality innovative work by Europe’s disabled artists.
  • Developed tools and understanding in the wider performing arts market.
  • Collaborated with many of the world’s leading arts networks to champion excellent artistic works, and to educate arts professionals.
  • Advocated for change in a cultural sector that systematically marginalises disabled artists and arts professionals.

An audio-flyer summarising the project (especially useful for visually impaired users) is available here.
