Spotlight on Rebus Theatre - Chief Minister's Award for Excellence
Rebus Theatre is a not-for-profit organisation consisting of people with and without disability. Their Open Doors Open Minds project is an inclusion training program which was delivered to staff and volunteers of 52 community clubs and organisations, and employees of ten government departments in Canberra.
Their Open Doors Open Minds project involved creating an interactive performance using stories gathered from people with disability around the challenges they face in accessing meaningful participation in community activities. The program empowered 25 people with disability to facilitate wider public conversation about access and inclusion through sharing their stories and vision for the community. It celebrates people with disability as the experts in their own inclusion.
After jointly winning the Championing Human Rights Award with People With Disabilities ACT, Rebus Theatre then received the overall Award at the 2018 ACT Chief Minister's Inclusion Awards.
