IGNITE

Theatre Classes for People with a Disability and Mental Illness

Rebus Theatre was approached by Belconnen Arts Centre to lead the drama component of their IGNITE program in 2015 and 2016.

IGNITE: Alternative Arts Academy is a series of programs that encourage participation for people with mixed abilities. The Academy provides opportunities for all levels of experience, from entry-level to those wishing to transcend into the mainstream arts sector. It’s a program for the hobbyist who likes to participate because it’s fun through to the arts professional practitioner.

In 2015 Rebus Theatre led an on-going drama program, with a dance component led by Janine Ayres. This led to short performances for the Mindscapes Festival and for the opening of the Hidden Faces exhibition at Belconnen Arts Centre.

Rebus acknowledges the Ngunnawal and Ngambri people as the traditional custodians of the land on which we live and work, and pays our respect to elders past, present and emerging.

We practice radical empathy through theatre and other arts to stimulate healing and provoke social and environmental change. Together with our donors and friends, Rebus is embarking on a bold new path to reach more of our marginalised than ever before. Play your own part by making a tax deductible donation to support our mission here!

The Rebus Staff Wellbeing Program is supported by Hands Across Canberra in partnership with the Chief Minister’s Charitable Fund and the Canberra Foundations Collective.
