In a year when disabled people are in the spotlight like never before, Total Permission follows conductor Charles Hazlewood, founder of the British Paraorchestra, as he encounters the artistry within 12 of the Unlimited Commissions, a strand of the London 2012 Festival that encourages deaf and disabled artists to take risks to create work that is not just unlimited but exceptional.
Join Charles, the artists and the audiences at Unlimited, one of the most significant festivals the Southbank Centre has ever staged and prepare to have your perceptions altered. Here are artists with the imagination to change the way we all think – an underwater wheelchair, a bipolar circus, a symphony of sirens.
The work is extraordinary yet the creators are not. The artists are questioning perceptions and giving permission to explore difference. How do you change people’s perspective of an NHS wheelchair? What makes a disabled person inspirational? How do we give people total permission to watch a person performing their very own piece of movement?
