The Freewheelers are exploring the meeting point between two worlds that shouldn't be separate - between disabled people and non-disabled people. And we are researching people's stories of moments when they were treated by others as being different or separate. Or moments where they suddenly felt awkward, separate or apart.

Please email us with your stories.

More about the project

There has been undeniable progress in attitudes towards deaf and disabled people in this country. Many people are now aware of how society can disable others, but there is still much ignorance and lack of understanding leading to prejudice and perhaps worst of all to pity. The consequent lack of confidence on the part of disabled people adds to the problem.,. This is all a form of “resistance”, as are the physical barriers. Many disabled people in other cultures and countries face a greater challenge in terms of segregation and access.

We are looking to explore the idea of resistance – through dance, movement, projection, live theatre… Using wind and other elements as a force that can run against us, but that we can also harness and use to take people in new directions.
