2024/25 No Limits School Touring Programme: Three Design Tales

Programme Introduction

The No Limits School Touring Programme presents an interactive theatrical performance that encourages students to explore concepts of inclusion in everyday life and across different art forms.

The 2025 performance presents three stories about inclusive fashion and adaptive or barrier-free clothing through the perspectives of disabled individuals, their carers and family members, and clothing designers. In the first story, after an older relative is disabled by a stroke, his family come together to help him regain confidence by providing him with specially tailored items of clothing. In the second story, an artist befriends a wheelchair user who struggles with prejudices when trying to buy clothes in regular stores, and puts her in contact with a designer sensitive to the type of adaptive clothing she needs. In the last story, a designer of inclusive fashion explains how and why she started her business, who she wants to help, and what she hopes to achieve.

The production is inspired by the experience of Rhys Workshop, a Hong Kong-based company that produces barrier-free clothing for people with special needs, and provides employment support and training programmes for people with disabilities.
