The Mixed Abilities Ensemble, a group of performers with and without a disability, participated in 15 weeks of skills development in theatre making and performance at Cabra Vale Leisure Centre in Cabramatta.
On the final Saturday 26 July 2008, audiences were invited to participate in a workshop led by the ensemble. A short performance piece that the group had developed, based on the idea of Utopia was also performed.
The ensemble will now engage in a creative development process for Hard Daze, a large scale production to be staged in 2009.
The MAE is a project by Powerhouse Youth Theatre in partnership with Accessible Arts.
