Breaking Education.
In this conversation, arts practitioner and theatre maker Joe England shares insights into his inclusive practice working with autistic learners and within special education needs settings (SEN). Joe emphasises the importance of ‘the right space’ and being ‘person centred’ as simple yet powerful non negotiable for inclusive arts education. Learn more about Joe's work here: https://www.jedaa.co.uk/Speaking to Joe, it was evident that there was no clear distinction between ‘Joe the theatre maker’ and ‘Joe the educator’. These two roles are seamlessly integrated and complement each other. Joe talks to theatre being the manipulation of space, and emphasises the importance of the whole room working together to create a shared moment that meets everyone where they are. Joe also highlights the value of preparation, communication, and collaboration in building a strong foundation to support learners in the best possible way. #BreakingBarriers #InclusiveArts #JoeEngland #ArtKind #BreakingEducation
