Alie B. Gorrie — A Cockeyed Optimist
Manage episode 283967174 series 2868571
Through her work on stage as a performer, as an inclusion consultant for theatres and as the co-producer of ABLE: a series which is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video, Alie B. is lovingly showing the entertainment industry what's going right when it comes to 360 degree disability inclusion (for artists and audiences) and where there is room for improvement.
In the spirit of inclusion, I have included a transcript of this episode for the benefit of anyone who might not be able to listen to this podcast. If you know anyone who would like to read this episode, please point them towards studiotimepodcast.com/blog/alieb
Side note: In our conversation, we talk about ABLE, the docu-series which highlights the powerful artistic contributions being made by people with disabilities. At the beginning of October 2019, ABLE: a series is available to watch in the United States. If you live in other regions, you'll need to search your local Amazon Prime platform. It's not accessible on the Australian site right now, but hopefully it will be before long. I do recommend you check the show's website to find out the most current information whenever you listen to this episode.
