Actors with learning disabilities are fighting the "anxiety" lack of work in conventional theaters, according to one of the leading companies in the field.
Lynda Hornsby, CEO of Dark Horse, said expanding the problem on actors with cognitive learning disabilities - such as Down syndrome -. The assertion that there is "nothing at all"
At the conference in London theater in 2016, he said it was "fantastic" that Dark Horse - the creation of working with and for people with learning disabilities - had received government subsidies to create works.
But he also stressed that the company has lost its regular funding of the Arts Council of England in 2014, and other companies that are not given as opportunities for players with intellectual disabilities.
She explained: "Much of the work with actors with learning disabilities in isolation within companies as has happened to us that learning difficulties are centered.
"In terms of outpatient work, there is so little scary there. In terms of working with the actors with cognitive learning difficulties, which is even less. There is really nothing at all."
Hornsby also suggested that the units of the diversity on the stage in the disability learning had jumped.
"We want the same opportunities as people seem to go through various other sectors or a large part at least for our people of what is already happening," he said.
"What more we want to see a chance to make the process inclusive and theater making our actors and others in the integrated are thrown into the broader work in the theater productions feces and other theaters."
Later in the conference criticized the CEO Hijinx Theatre Clare Williams, the "big gap" seek training opportunities for players with learning disabilities.
"There is a fundamental problem when you rarely have Down syndrome or autism to learn the necessary for the conditions of access to universities or access. Therefore, there is a big gap" DIT it.
