Sign Supported Show

Good news in last night!

Demelza signing Swing Low Sweet Chariot at Kresen Kernow 

in the middle of the normal muddle of dress rehearsal preparation, which is exacerbated by my not being in person but on zoom today - the wonders of technology we have all taken on since the pandemic- however not there due to covid in my home - so!! not quite so wonderful... 

Anyway i digress good news that thanks to a generous offer we now have a Sign Supported show

I wrote recently our heading on instagram 'we aim for equity and accessibility' however we often fall short of our aspirations but continue to learn and push on and so we are so glad to have this. The shows are fully collaborative, not written, so we don't know what people will compose and create until close to the performance time which makes sourcing support, planning and budgeting for audio and BSL far more complex.

We are grateful to have some outreach funding from Henry Smith Charity to people in our Cornish community who are deaf and with hearing support needs.

I was thinking we had enough films of this show but now we might need to look at film or live stream again so we can capture it for that community. 

Cornwall is a highly supportive connected community and we are so glad and grateful for this. We have the cathedral venue as they reduced the rate and then a private sponsor, not wishing to be known, funded the rest of the (hefty) cost hire.

We have the cast available and are excited to be performing this again. We have a very narrow get in and rehearsal time next Friday but are so pleased and glad to be fund raising for things we feel passionately about. Thank you to Star for suggesting the venue and to Demelza for all her work with BSL and connections.

Now all the major 'issues' affect us all, we are happy to be more 'political' in the broadest sense in our voice. We are all vulnerable and we all need support!

Come along to a Free Show and give what you can to those in fleeing and in need!
