Brisbane Improv Festival -  a celebration of improvised comedy in Brisbane 22 - 29 July

Facilitated by Ellen Jackson (QLD)

Welcome - safe - respected. We all want to help people feel this way when they are involved in our theatres as performers and audiences. But... how do we do that? Many people within the improv community come from marginalized backgrounds and live with disabilities both visible and invisible. Join me as we discuss practical strategies to intentionally create inclusive and accessible performance communities.
