‘ON MEMORY’ TEXTS
For this edition of SPILL we invited three people to each write a text responding to the festival’s theme of Memory. Diana Damian Martin reflects on her time as SPILL Writer across recent years; SPILL founder and outgoing Artistic Director Robert Pacitti reflects on the first 10 festivals; and SPILL’s new Artistic Director Robin Deacon shares memories of festivals past, to look to the future.
ACCESS
Equal Access is not additional or separate from the events programme at SPILL - it is embedded at the core of what we do - physically, financially and attitudinally. We believe that everyone's views are valid and we advocate diversity of opinion without that becoming unsafe for anyone. The festival has step‐free access all venues and sites it is showing at. Our varied programme is friendly, offered on a ‘pay what you choose’ basis, lots of events are free, and everyone is welcome. Some events are British Sign Language interpreted and we hope to meet the needs of all guests. More details on our ACCESS page.
