About L’Arche and the London Drama Group
We believe that people with learning disabilities have much to teach us and contribute to the world. During the last fifty years, we have learnt that one of the best ways to enable this is by creating Communities with a culture of shared lives between people with and without learning disabilities, from which we can work together to build a more human society.
At L’Arche we celebrate people with learning disabilities and build circles of support around them. We go beyond supporting people’s basic needs to attend to their emotional and spiritual lives, too. It is this focus on building relationships and cultivating a sense of belonging that makes us different from other service providers.
Our Drama Group represents many of those from our London community who find joy in performance art and prop-making. The group meets weekly and has brought their performances to Churches, Theatres and Conferences across London and the UK. Their last performances were the Musicians of Bremen at Stanley Arts and The Story of Creation at St James’s Piccadilly.
