    Five questions with... Frozen Light

    In April 2023 we welcomed a more than 250 new organisations to our National Portfolio, including Frozen Light – who this year celebrated 10 years of producing and touring amazing sensory theatre for audiences with Profound and Multiple Learning Disabilities. This Learning Disability Week, we caught up with Co-Artistic Directors Lucy and Amber to chat about their journey, why their work is so important and what the future holds.
