Unlimited encourages collaborations and partnerships between disability arts organisations, disabled and deaf artists, producers, and mainstream organisations. They will celebrate the inspiration of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, and produce work like never before.
Ruth Mackenzie, Director of the Cultural Olympiad said: ‘These are my first commissions since I started work for the Cultural Olympiad Board and I am proud to be working on a festival which will be offering more commissioning for disabled artists than any Cultural Olympiad and festival anywhere in the world.
‘This is a chance to change the way work by disabled artists is perceived and enjoyed round the world, and we are thrilled to have such exciting commissions to get the programme started.’
Commissions include: Candoco Dance Company - Candoco Unlimited from London, Maurice Orr - The Screaming Silence of the Wind from Northern Ireland and Jez Colborne with Mind the Gap - Irresistible from Yorkshire.
