Artistry Unleashed
Extraordinary things happen when we see the human talent and skill, not the disability.
Inspired by her work singing with the British Paraorchestra, Joanne Roughton-Arnold (soprano) c0-founded formidAbility out of a passionate belief that we can find a new, more creative approach to accessibility both on and off stage. The company is a healthy mix of disabled and non-disabled professional artists creating work of the highest calibre, breaking down barriers and challenging perceptions of disability and inclusion in the arts. We make no compromise in artistic standards.
Accessibility is at the heart of formidability’s creative process, becoming artistic in its own right, something that touches the whole audience whether disabled or not.
“formidAbility is all about bringing people together to experience great art as human beings, and leaving aside any sense of ‘them and us’. We aim to make all our performances as accessible as possible, and to reflect the diversity of our audience in the artists appearing on stage. We are all enthralled by the extraordinary athletic feats of paralympians in the sporting arena, so why should the arts be any different?” - Joanne Roughton-Arnold
