Here is the curtain raiser of the First Drop Dialogue. First Drop Dialogue is a space where we talk about socially relevant topics which do not often get enough dialogue or attention. These include but are not limited to Disability and Inclusion, Sex Education, Mental Health, Menstrual Hygiene and so on. We shall try to facilitate dialogue by talking to different individuals and groups which belong to Applied Theatre and Expressive Arts.
Note: This podcast series was produced as a part of my master’s internship. This content is showcased with written permission from the organization I have worked for. This project has seen my sweat and tears literally and figuratively, making to this list.
In the first episode of First Drop Dialogue, let us meet Grace Lee-Khoo from Singapore. She is the founder of
Access Path productions, an organization which works to create awareness of disability. Together, let us see how we can go beyond someone’s disability and start looking at their abilities and attitudes.
Let us answer the question of what it takes to be inclusive in the second episode of First Drop Dialogue. Let us meet Kiki Ng from Hong Kong and Debe Edden from the USA, both are using Playback Theatre to work with vision and hearing impaired and neurodiverse communities, respectively. And together, let us explore the concept of inclusivity.
