Tam Gilbert

Tam is a Bournemouth-based writer, theatre-maker and Audio Description Consultant. She is co-Director of Millstream Theatre, a community company of learning-disabled and neurodivergent actors based at the Museum of East Dorset, which she co-founded in 2014. Tam enjoys making hard-hitting, persuasive and historical theatre, which embeds creative audio description as an intrinsic invisible thread, challenging audiences’ perceptions.

 

Tam has worked with various disability-led organisations including Diverse City and Disability Arts Online and on a number of Extant projects. In recent years, she has provided AD consultancy to mainstream artists, and to organisations Indigo Moon, Valise Noire Storytelling and The Play’s the Thing Theatre Company, where her play ‘Tales from the Confined’ was commissioned as part of their Taking the Stage festival of female writers in Milton Keynes in October 2024.
