Creative Lab 2026: Artistic Practice Shaped By Disabled Perspective
It's that time again — the next Creative Lab is coming up!
From May 7–10, 2026, we'll explore the questions: How do lived experiences of disability shape artistic practice? And what potential lies in Disabled Leadership?
We'll kick off the first day with an introduction by Jo Verrent, Director of the disabled-led arts organisation Unlimited (UK).
This will be followed by a keynote by Eyk Kauly. The renowned actor, performer, Deaf Coach and Artistic Director of the German Deaf Theatre will introduce the topic from a Deaf perspective.

• Two-day theatre workshop with Laura Guthrie from the outstanding theatre company GRAEAE (UK)

On Sunday we will present the work done and finish with a Q&A!
