In this episode I chat with Nadine McKenzie, Artistic Director of the inclusive performing arts company, Unmute Dance.

Nadine shares a little of the history of the Unmute Dance Company and explains some of the logistics of running a mixed abilities performance group of dancers.

She also tells us about the upcoming Arts Ability Festival that will be happening from 27 November – 3 December in Cape Town, South Africa.
