The Social Model… & More Festival 2023 Theatre Deli is hosting The Social Model…& More Festival across its Sheffield and London venues in November 2023. Taking place across Theatre Deli's Sheffield and London venues in November 2023, the festival, which has been curated by artist Caroline Mawer, explores new perspectives on disability and the relationship between disabled people and the world around them. Artwork for The Social Model...& More Festival by Phil Waterworth. The Social Model…& More Festival so far... From December - January 2023, we asked disabled, D/deaf, neurodivergent and learning disabled artists, theatremakers, and creative practitioners the question: What does the social model of disability mean to you? We received a variety of great responses - and also asked three disabled artists to write provocations to help inform the activity at the festival. Read these responses and provocations here. In April 2023, we called out for artists to submit work that responds to these responses and provocations, or to the social model of disability in general, that could become part of the programme for The Social Model…& More Festival in our Sheffield and London venues. Festival Dates 8th to 11th of November in Theatre Deli Sheffield 22nd to 25th of November in Theatre Deli London The festival is available to book now!

Artists for The Social Model...& More Festival 2023 In July 2023, we announced the performance artists for the Social Model...& More Festival. Meet the artists and find out more about their work here Supporting Euan's Guide Euan's Guide As part of Theatre Deli's effort to improve accessibility across the sector, we would encourage artists and creatives to submit their experiences of working in and visiting venues to Euan's Guide. We want venues to be accessible for audiences, but also artists and creatives.We therefore support Euan's Guide: a disabled led initiative started as a way for disabled audience members to find and comment on the accessibility of venues. Euan's Guide works by providing a platform for disabled people to comment on good access and any improvements needed in venues they visit. In addition to sharing front of house experiences for audiences, Euan's Guide now includes back of house experience so disabled artists and staff can feedback on the accessibility of working in venues. Euan's Guide does not require you to write a long report, just a sentence about whatever you found especially good or bad. Please join in wherever you're working: venues can't improve without your feedback!Share your experience here. Social Model Starters Podcasts Leading up to the Social Model... & More Festival, we will be releasing a series of podcasts with conversations between Festival Curator Caroline Mawer and thinkers and creatives about disability. About Theatre Deli Theatre Deli has been a driving force within the arts for over a decade, expanding opportunities for people to make and experience art. Theatre Deli acquires unused spaces and transforms them into creative communities, providing space, support and resources in order to develop and share art and performance. In 2022, the charity moved into new London premises on Leadenhall Street, and took on a long-term Sheffield home on Arley Street, which opened in March 2023.
