Brighton Fringe 2017 is also host of THE.AM.A - Theater of People with Disabilities coming from Greece to perform - BLINDFOLD - The Night of the Hunt.
It is worth mentioning that two of the four performers are actors with learning disabilities (autism and Down’s syndrome) who are bi-lingual, despite all prevailing norms and preconceptions. Inclusion is HERE !!

Alongside Unlimited, Brighton Dome has worked with Carousel for over a decade, welcoming learning disabled artists and audiences. Brighton Dome Corn Exchange hosts the Oska Bright Film Festival (the leading international festival for films made by learning disabled people) and the regular Blue Camel Clubs, club-night and showcase. The next club night is June 27. If you want to see diversity and inclusion in action, come. www.carousel.org.uk
