- Misfits Theatre Company Performance - Lunchtime 1.25pm to 1.45pm
Misfits are a unique Bristol based Community Interest Company. They are a theatre and social group led by people with learning difficulties. They aim to enable people with learning difficulties to be creative, have fun and reach their potential through participation, performance, volunteering and employment.
Their unmissable performance based training is delivered in a way which is fun, engaging and always powerful. The training is often based on their own experiences of discrimination, bullying and living with a learning difficulty. They use drama to draw out the subtleties of discriminatory practices and the impact they have on the lives of people who experience discrimination and inequality.
It can be noisy and exciting but they convey serious messages in a light hearted way.
The performance they will be showing students showcases the acting skills of people with learning difficulties. "We enjoy acting and we want to show that people with learning difficulties can act. We want to be seen as professional actors not people with a disability. The person not the label".
