In autumn 2006 the Arts Council England set up the "Into the Scene" project in order to increase the number of disabled and deaf theatre practitioners graduating from accredited training courses and to increase the quality of their experience. A team from Graeae, the disabled-led theatre company that profiles the skills of actors, writers and directors with physical and sensory impairments, was chosen to work on the project. In this interview with Kathy Dacre, Alex Bulmer, the project co-ordinator, describes and assesses its achievements.
