Beyond is helping to develop greater access to regional opportunities across England ensuring Deaf, Disabled, and neurodivergent artists are at the forefront of new and emerging work. We recognise the immense value of our intersectionality across our communities, which includes Black, Asian, Global Majority, migrant, and LGBTQIA+ artists, which is why our approach is to be as bespoke as possible for each individual artist on the programme.

This year, Graeae have teamed up with 8 leading venues across England; Octagon Theatre in Bolton, Nottingham Playhouse, Cast in Doncaster, Hull Truck Theatre, Shakespeare North in Prescot, Everyman in Liverpool, Derby Theatre, and Mercury Theatre in Colchester. Together we are creating a national network of artistic support and development for Deaf, Disabled, and neurodivergent artists.
