Artsability



Artsability is a fantastic project that promotes performance arts opportunities for adults with learning disabilities in Aberdeenshire.
Key to the success of Artsability is ‘Acting Up’ the core drama group who with Co-ordinator Justyne offer an annual outreach programme to all the Day Services. The outreach supports an annual training from professional Drama Workers, giving the Day Service Drama Leaders and their members a chance to learn new techniques and to work with each other.

The focus for 2010 is ‘Physical Theatre’ here are some pictures from an exciting Workshop held in May with Niki McCretton attended by 18 people, building confidence in close contact and developing creative imagination.
Below are pictures of a Bath scene with 'hairwashing taps! - Niki and Jamie centre and a boat scene story development.
