Autism’s got Talent and Anna Kennedy OBE are looking for autistic singers, dancers, musicians, comedians, magicians, poets and gymnasts.
Plus, those with more unusual acts to share.
Recognising the uniqueness of those with autism Anna Kennedy, who has two autistic sons with has worked tirelessly to find ways of recognising the ability not the disability in these individuals. The Autism’s Got Talent event is one of the ways of recognising that ability and will showcase a whole host of talent.
Describing the event Anna Kennedy shared:
“This is a great opportunity for those with autism to get up on stage and really show what they can do. So often society views these people as difficult and uncommunicative, but this event will really dispel that myth with some fantastic talent on display.”
This whole concept is based solely on inclusion and there needs to be more, which is why we have started roadshows across the UK.
Unlike other talent shows the evening will have many surprises and delights as children and adults showcase and perform before a live audience.
Autism’s Got Talent, which is an annual event at The Mermaid Theatre Blackfriars, is growing in popularity and now in its 13th year and has firmly cemented its status as a leading charity and a popular autism event.
One of last years performer shares :
“I had such an incredible time at Autism’s Got Talent, It was so relaxing and welcoming I felt amazing.
From the red carpet photos to chilling back stage with my amazing friend Isla. Isla and I had so much fun hanging out during the day and back stage, It felt amazing knowing we were all the same with little unique parts to us all.
I absolutely loved performing on the amazing stage especially as the lighting etc all matched my sparkling new street costume and the audience were so supportive and engaging.
I absolutely loved the opportunity to learn a new solo for Autisms Got Talent; my teachers and mum were so proud of my performance. I recently lost my Nanna and she would of been so proud of me too.
Thank you so much Anna and her team for the opportunity and memories to treasure.” – Skye Richards
