To celebrate International Day of Persons With Disabilities, we're bringing you Balancing Act.

This event will be BSL interpreted.

Balancing Act is a performance that celebrates the work of disabled, chronically ill and neurodivergent poets. We're balancing the playing field and spotlighting the work of poets who write about a range of subjects, including but not limited to disability.

Ableism is unfortunately very present in our society and we're keen to tackle it in a variety of ways, including putting on fun gigs like this.

Everyone is welcome to join this online poetic performance.

Join host Helen Heckety (formerly Helen Seymour) with guest performances from Jamie Hale, Kate Fox, Miss Jacqui. Joining will also be emerging artists Matt Alton and Jasmin Thien.

This gig is free to attend and will be held online, via Zoom.
