Accelerate Ensemble is a weekly drama workshop in Newcastle for young adults (18-30, but we’re flexible!), who identify as living with disability.
Led by professional theatre practitioners, the workshops explore all aspects of performance and theatre making, and empower participants to express their own creative ideas.
Accelerate Ensemble is a partnership between Tantrum and the Civic Theatre – the home of live performance in Newcastle. Civic Theatre provides an accessible workshop space for the Ensemble to meet each week.
Since its inception in 2021, Accelerate Ensemble has been supported by the internationally acclaimed Geelong-based company Back to Back Theatre, who have worked with us to establish the ensemble, offering training and support to our participants and staff, and aiding in the production of new works.
Accelerate Ensemble’s past works include film-based storytelling for WonderCity (2024), an original live theatre performance Party Party Boom Boom (2023), and experimental film project RADIAL (2022).

Support and Access Information
Participants are welcome to bring their Support Workers or Carers with them to the workshop. Depending on support needs, the Support Workers do not need to stay in the room, and instead can stay close by while the participant has independence in the workshop space. Facilitators can provide the Support Workers with the workshop phone number so we can stay in contact during the workshop if needed.
Our workshop facilitators will focus on the delivery of the workshop and are not able to help with personal care of participants.
When registering for a trial, please be clear about the participant’s access and support needs. We will do everything we can to accomodate participants and want participants to have a positive, engaging and creative time in our workshops.
