Belle wants to continue to aspire to make work that provides cultural provision for audiences who often don’t get the chance to go to the theatre. She will strive to maintain the quality of work to Concrete Youth’s audiences and advocate for change in the theatre to become an inclusive place, whether that is the theatre building itself or the work that is being made/programmed within them. She is immensely excited to work with practitioners, artists and researchers who share her belief that theatre for people with PMLD should be thought provoking, engaging, entertaining, accessible and Inclusive. In effort to create a space that is welcoming for audiences and artists alike, right from the rehearsal room to the stage.
