Description:
Embracing Arts is a theatre company that is dedicated to creating work for children with special educational needs and/or life limiting conditions. We believe that every child should be able to enjoy the magic of theatre and have created a range of theatrical experiences that can be brought to them, wherever they are.
Our annual Christmas For Kids project delivers seasonal silliness completely for free at children's hospices across the UK.
Our audiences are unique in their range of disabilities and needs - from life-limiting illnesses to profound multiple learning difficulties. Since they are unable to attend the theatre, we bring the theatre to them, and to their families and carers.
Our interactive, multi-sensory shows, parties and workshops are tailored to the unique needs of each audience and use storytelling, song, music and puppetry to entertain, engage and educate. They are delivered by our team of experienced professional actors, supported by our fantastic puppets! Whether the audience is two children and their carers, or a Christmas party for 200, we adapt our performance to suit.
Since 2009, we have performed for more than 7,000 children. We recently introduced a digital version of our 2020 show to ensure the pandemic doesn't spoil the fun.
