An outreach is a piece of work we do outside the Centre. Some outreaches are to promote the Centre and our work; some are commissioned pieces of work we do for schools, businesses or at events like SCIE and the House of Commons. Other outreaches are to promote similar causes close to our heart like the European Year of Disabled People (EYDP).  

Orpheus also has a touring performance programme which has included performances at the Royal Opera House, the Royal Albert Hall, Schools’ Proms, Glastonbury Festival, the International Festival of Music Theatre in Cardiff and a pan-European arts festival in Greece. These public performances are always well supported and educate the enthusiastic audience as much as entertain them.

The students also visit many schools, colleges and community groups to run participatory workshops, performances and discussions. There is an important educational aspect to this experience for the ’host’ group; for many, it will be the first time they have interacted with disabled people. The students also provide tailored workshops and disability equality and awareness training to business and community groups. 

The cost and level of commitment of an Orpheus performance varies, so if you would like the Orpheus Students to perform at your event or venue, please contact our Marketing Department on 01883 744664 or use the contact form to send an email.
