What have we been up to
This year has been a busy one so far for us as New Strides continues to spread its wings. As well as continuing performances of both Tea With Mrs Pankhurst (see Tea With Mrs. Pankhurst below for details of upcoming shows) and Purge (see Unison Conference 2004below for a report on our last run in Glasgow), we have been involved in many successful workshops including a conference in Wales for a self advocacy group of people with learning difficulties (in which Lori, Tiran, Eve and James found out that shaving foam isn’t the best substance to use for custard pies!). We also ran a week long workshop for children in Hebden Bridge on the theme of legends ending in a performance of ‘The Sword in the Stone’ to parents and friends. This was great week and due to popular demand we are running a longer workshop in July (details to be posted soon).
