Interacting holds classes for people with disabilities across Auckland - Drama, Hip Hop and Film Making.
Our visions are:
Provide members of disabled communities with opportunities to tell
stories through collective participation in the performing arts
Organise and develop drama workshops and to promote other
performing arts including but not limited to dance, music and
filmmaking
Train people to run workshops for children and adults with special
needs within the community especially focusing on training people
from within the Maori and Pacific Island communities.
Establish an ensemble theatre company of people with special needs
to present plays and productions throughout the community.
Promote the use of drama therapy and involvement in theatre of
people with special needs
Interacting also organises the InterACT Disability Arts Festival which is a 3 day festival that gathers people from all over Auckland together. The festival celebrates people with disabilities and what they can do. There is a stage for performances (any performance, poetry reading,music, dance, circus acts, mimes, kapa hakas and drama), an art exhibition, workshops, a mini market - there's something for everyone! Anyone with or associated with disabilities participate and anyone who is interested can come!
