THE AIM: To empower you as an individual and raise awareness of autism.
WHO CAN PARTICIPATE: Any adult (aged 18+) who has Asperger's Syndrome, High-Functioning Autism or PDD-NOS with an interest in the performing arts (this can include but is not exclusive to drama, poetry and music).
THE PROCESS: You will go through a series of intensive drama/performing arts workshops and create a show which will take place in April 2014 (World Autism Month).

WHEN: Thursday 24th October, Thursday 31st October then every Monday from 11th November (there will be a break for Christmas and Easter holidays) until the final show in April 2014.
If you are unable to attend the first 2-3 workshops due to other commitments, you may still be able to join the project at a later stage.
If you are a solo artist of any discipline and you would like to perform at the final show without having to participate in the workshops, you may be able to do so.
Email: [email protected] and ask whether this is possible.
TIME: 6.30 - 8.30pm (there will be a short break during this time)
