Disability in music and theatre ⏲️ 6 Minute English
The UK’s Equality Act of 2010 guaranteed the rights of disabled people to equal access to education, employment, and services, including music, theatre and the arts. Despite this, it’s still difficult for disabled musicians and music fans to perform and see live music. Neil and Georgie introduce you to some ways people are trying to change this, while teaching you some useful vocabulary. 👇👇👇
❓❓❓ A study by disabled musicians’ group, Attitude is Everything, found that one third of music venues provided no disabled access information at all. But which London music venue was recently given a Gold award for accessibility for disabled musicians and audiences? Was it:
a) The Royal Albert Hall?
b) The Southbank Centre? or,
c) Brixton Academy?
