Drama Express is an innovative, inclusive arts organisation based within Cornwall that is aimed at young people between 10 and 18 years with a diagnosis of 'complex support need'. The group's pantomime project in 2018 involved the young people in the writing process, construction of the set, designing costumes and promoting the final performances. There was careful and considerate planning of every last detail to ensure that all aspects of the performance were accessible to those with different requirements and the shows were both signed and audio described for audiences. The project has had a hugely positive impact on the confidence and skills of the young people and encouraged audiences and other organisations to think about the potential for all young people.
