ARTISTIC POLICY
Amici is a unique dance theatre company integrating able-bodied and disabled artists and performers. Amici was founded in 1980. Since then its productions and workshops have had a major impact challenging conventional attitudes about disability and the arts. Amici runs regular weekly classes for its 30 plus members at Sands End Community Centre in Fulham, London. The company integrates performers with learning difficulties, physical disabilities, sensory impairment and mental health problems with able-bodied dancers, actors and musicians in dance and theatre based workshops and performances. The artistic team from Amici runs workshop residencies, student placements, and performances throughout the year and all over the world.
