New Resource for
Integrated Performance
Available Online

Powerhouse Youth Theatre (PYT) is proud to launch the interACT Kit, an online resource designed to assist those who want to work in integrated performance settings.

The kit includes workshop plans and case studies from organisations and disability services across regional and metropolitan New South Wales with experiences of working in an integrated performance setting.

“We are very excited about the launch of the interACT Resource Kit.” said Claudia Chidiac, Artistic Director PYT, “It provided a platform to highlight and acknowledge existing projects and practitioners in NSW for the great work they have achieved.”

The kit was created to raise awareness and celebrate the work going on in the field of integrated performance and to assist those who may want to work in the field with tools and techniques to get started.

interACT is available to read online, or for free download as a PDF, Word document or Large Print Word document.

interACT was created by Powerhouse Youth Theatre in association with the Western Sydney Branch of Accessible Arts. This project was made possible with support from Matana Foundation. PYT receives core support from Australia Council for the Arts, Community Arts NSW and Fairfield City Council.

I Love You :: work-in-progress

pytsite


Janet is a young woman with dreams: She loves to dance tango. She loves high heels. She loves to travel. But something happens to her, and in one defining moment, the world as she knows it changes forever. Janet finds herself lying in a hospital bed unable to walk, unable to talk … only able to mutter the words “I love You”.

This is a story of a young woman who defies expectations to pursue her own dreams.

You are invited to attend a 25-minute performance of I Love You, by Janet Diane. In 2008 Janet began to write her first performance based on her own real life experiences as a young woman who lives with a disability. She is now at the second stage of creating her performance and would like to share it with you.
