What are your embarrassing moments?

DISABLED people from across the UK are being urged to give examples of times when they have been made to feel like they were from a different world.

Non-disabled people are also being asked to tell about occasions when they’ve not known how to behave when meeting a disabled person.

All these “embarrassing moments” are to be featured in a new theatre production called “Audacity” to be performed by Leatherhead’s integrated theatre company The Freewheelers.

The company’s own members have already shared some of their stories, which can be heard on the Freewheelers’ website.

But they need more examples.

General manager Viv Colvill explains: “We are exploring the meeting point between two worlds that shouldn’t really be  separate – between disabled people and non-disabled people.

“As an integrated arts company, much of our work is  about presenting moments of harmony.  This new work focuses on points of discomfort and clashes of assumption.  They could be the briefest moments of confusion, and can occur between  people with different disabilities, just as much as between non-disabled and  disabled people.”

People can email details or send video, audio or creative work.  There is a form online form that can be completed on the company’s website.
