No Strings Attached Theatre of Disability, 1994-2024
No Strings Attached
Fearless. Limitless. Boundless. describes how a humble, community-based organisation evolved into an award-winning touring company with an international reputation for breaking new ground.
The entertaining and informative text traces the evolution of the company as told in the words of its Artistic Directors, funding partners, supporters, and, most importantly, the performers and their families. Bringing these contributions to life are the more than 50 photographs featuring performers in key productions which have pushed artistic and creative boundaries and told stories which fearlessly engage with audiences through a disability lens.
From the early vision of its founder, to the many and varied new theatre works, main stage productions, multiple awards, new film projects, and critical acclaim, this is an engaging celebration of an exciting and foundational period in South Australia's history of theatre.
No Strings Attached Theatre of Disability is a South Australian professional theatre company that proudly works exclusively with disabled performers to produce world-class theatre. It was founded in 1994 by Helen Flinter-Leach who recognised that drama skills are life skills, and the transformative power of meaningful paid employment in the arts.
