Access Acquired is back!
Access Acquired is a Made by Members series, curated by a collective of NYT Members who are passionate about championing young d/Deaf, Disabled and Neurodivergent talent.
Following on from the success of the Made by Members Event hosted in 2022, Access Acquired is returning as a weekend long festival made for and by d/Deaf, Disabled and Neurodivergent NYT Members in February 2024!
Access Acquired has been created by and for NYT Members who identify as disabled, D/deaf or neurodiverse to perform, take part in workshops and panels and network over the course of a weekend.
You can look forward to a variety of panels, workshops and performances featuring Co-Director of our Associate Company BLINK Dance Theatre, Francis Majekodunmi and Associate, Director, Writer and Dramaturg Hana Keegan.
