INSPIRE is the term for our work in the disability sector and is part of our “ladder strategy” to ensure equal access for all in the performing arts.
The Programme:
4 Streams
Inspire Fife
INSPIRE Fife has been running since 2012 and is our flagship group of 30 disabled adults who all love drama. Over the years they have enjoyed creating together, going on theatre trips, producing two talent contests and in 2022 staged their very first production of "The Enchanted Forest" - view photos under Past Productions here.
