On this week's episode of Part of the Arts with me, Rebecca Godden, we have the wonderful Katie Anna McConnell.
Katie Anna is an actress and dancer with multiple medical conditions. She uses mobility aids, including a power-assisted wheelchair and walking sticks, and is trained in musical theatre.
She tours with shows primarily for young people and families, using drama to explore important topics like neurodivergency. Delivering access consultancy to companies working in arts and culture, Katie offers Disability Equality Training sessions- these cover a wide range of subjects to make the industry a more inclusive and accepting environment. Access across the arts is hugely important to me, so I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!
P.S. The sound on Rebecca’s end is a bit patchy, but we have improved it enough for an enjoyable listen with nothing missed; oh, the joys of technology!
