Accessible Practice

Access is the foundation of our practice.

At Uncurbed Collective, access is not an add-on – it is how we make art, how we lead, and how we welcome people. It shapes every level of what we do: our accessible theatre and performance practice is creative, cultural, and structural.

Access in Workshops

Workshops are creative spaces where everyone contributes, experiments, and plays. Access shapes how we design the room, respond to expression, and space to follow individual ideas. The result is environments where disabled people can take risks, find news ways of expression, and make art together.

Access in the Creative Process

Access drives our creative process. We design time, space, and tools that open up different ways of expressing ideas and creating. Through innovation in access and expression, we expand what performance can be.

Access in Leadership

Access drives how we model leadership. Structures, processes, and opportunities evolve. Our approach keeps leadership fluid, responsive, and collective, making space for disabled people to lead at every level of the organisation and beyond.

Access in Performance

Access is an artistic language. It shapes form, style, and meaning. We experiment with access as part of the art itself. Accessible theatre is built to welcome disabled audiences, performers, and collaborators, while opening new possibilities for theatre as a whole.

More about our practice

Access shapes every space we create, every process we design, and every performance we share. Our practice also includes:

  • Co-production – our model of collaboration and shared power.
  • Leadership – the method through which change is driven and power is shifted.
