With the support of the Norfolk Community Foundation, nationally acclaimed visual artist Tanya Raabe, winner of DaDa Fest International 08 Visual Arts Award visited Norwich (March 2nd – 5th 2009) to work with the members of Thalia Theatre Company.

Tanya took time out of her nation-wide tour of Who’s Who (a series of portraits of established and emerging disabled artists) to work with the company members who will use her art as a stimulus for devising their unique performances.

Thalia’s Artistic Director, Molly Rose-Hutchinson commented “Tanya’s visit was inspiring and enriching for Thalia members. Our company has secured its position as an innovative, forward thinking organisation that engages with a range of professional arts practitioner from across the country. We have built a strong and lasting relationship with Tanya so much so she has agreed to become our Patron! I thank Norfolk Community Foundation for their financial support for this project”.

Tanya Raabe is sponsored by ‘The Mersey Partnership’ and supported by Tate Liverpool. Her artwork “celebrates diversity of ability and approach that work with the social model of disability… [and] works towards getting disability art recognised as a valued art form in its own right”
