Written and performed by artists with learning disabilities and autistic artists, The Twisting Ducks Theatre Company presents What am I like!? , an intricate movement performance to be presented at St James’s United Reformed Church, Newcastle upon Tyne on Wednesday 20th November 2024. What am I like!? follows a group of strangers as they explore their unique identities through a series of fun and lively moments. From the fun of the fairground, and the glitz of the catwalk, to the thrill of a party and the lure of holidays, each chapter is framed by questions and is filled with laughter and heartfelt moments. As characters share their stories and discover new things about themselves, they realise that their differences bring them closer together, making their bonds even stronger. Set against a backdrop of sing-along hits, What Am I Like!? promises to entertain with a mix of humour, lively performances, and an inspiring message about romance, diversity and acceptance. The performers, who meet weekly at Newcastle’s Theatre Royal, are part of The Twisting Ducks Theatre Company, a charitable incorporated organisation working with people with learning disabilities and autistic people to tackle inequalities and effect social change through performing arts. Working across Tyne & Wear and Northumberland, The Twisting Ducks Theatre Company supports over 800 people a year to share their stories, develop their artistic skills and to ensure the uniqueness and relevance of their art reaches more people. Jan Willem van den Bosch, Lead facilitator and Project Manager at The Twisting Ducks Theatre Company said: “This performance is a celebration of individuality. Our artists have poured their hearts into creating a piece that reminds us all how important it is to embrace our unique qualities and celebrate diversity.” What am I like!? is on at St James’s United Reformed Church, Newcastle upon Tyne on Wednesday 20th November 2024 at 2pm.
