DaDaFest looking for artists.
- 5 Jun 06, 4:25 PM
The Northwest Disability Arts Forum, organisers of the DaDaFest, are looking for disabled artists to take part in this year’s event.
According to festival coordinater Gemma Nash,
“DaDaFest covers theatre to visual art, live dance to club nights. So if you're a budding musician, playwright, comedian or any other type of disabled artist or group (in particular people from BME groups and artists from the North West) then get in touch.”
DaDaFest has been running for 6 years now, and has grown consistently during it’s life.
To find out more about how you can become involved, call the NWDAF on 01517071733.

Hey cool blog check mine out too. Its an arts and ranting type of thing but I am diasbled not that it means anything
later
What prevents me from doing these gigs is the British always want me to put on my "disabled" head and put up with being patronised.
I am not a disabled performance poet or writer, I am a disabled windsurfer, horse rider, mountain biker and hill walker, ergo I am not able to do these things to my satisfaction any more.
Disability actually freed me from a demanding career so that I could write. for that reason I refuse to write about my disability and how I feel about it. It hacks me off and I would rather write and perform about subjects on which I have a little more to offer than self pity. I always find that America, for all that I dislike about its politics and the attitudes of some sectors of its society, is far more prepared to acknowledge me as a writer. I do not have to be a "disabled" writer in order to be given a chance.
