David Doyle is one of the participants of Accessible Arts - Apprenticeship Training Program (ATP). He says “Being involved in the Apprenticeship Training Program has helped me realize I belong on the stage, in front of the camera, behind the microphone and behind the scenes as well.” David’s lifestyle is proof of this. When he is not training or instructing martial arts, you may hear him on community radio station BLUFM 89.1 as a presenter. He has also been involved in several theatre productions in the Blue Mountains where he is able to use his voice training skills, learnt when studying a course at NIDA. He was the MC for the My Space, My Place exhibition at Powerhouse Youth Theatre last October and was an interviewer for Accessible Arts’ AART.BOXX exhibition at Sydney Opera House for International Day for People with a Disability in 2007. David will graduate with a Certificate II in Live Production, Theatre and Events this July. His developing skills base in the arts will reward any employer.

The Apprenticeship Training Program is a unique partnership between Accessible Arts & Julius Media, a college specialising in Entertainment Technical Training, and is the only one of its kind in Australia. Ten participants who identified as having a disability will undergo a 30 week training course at Parramatta Riverside Theatre on how to operate lighting & sound equipment for theatre and events. Upon completion of the course participants will receive a Certificate II in Live Production, Theatre and Events. The long term aim of the program is for graduates to gain further work experience, as well as employment opportunities by being introduced to key Western Sydney Arts organisations and councils.
