Actors
From October 2018 to September 2019 eight visually impaired and blind actors took part in Pathways 1.

This included a series of monthly workshops led by drama schools, industry practitioners, theatre companies and also involved professional mentoring. It culminated in a show-case presentation at RADA Studios, featuring the 8 Pathways actors working with contemporary texts, Shakespearean monologues and ensemble sketches. These entertained and engaged around one hundred creative industry professionals and practitioners who attended, enlightening them to life as a visually impaired and blind actor. More details about the programme and a film of the event can be found below.
The eight talented actors; Alex Williams; Anthony Gough; Chloe MacCombe; Danielle Evans; Douglas Walker; Jake Sawyers; Judith MacCombe and Megan John have continued to audition for film, TV and theatre roles across the UK and America.
