UEL academic makes theatre return with 'sexy punk crip cabaret'

Directed by Dr Terret, Applied Theatre and Performance Programme Leader at UEL, Not F**kin' Sorry! is an artistic political response to the ongoing systematic discrimination and exclusion of learning disabled and neuro-divergent artists from the performing arts. 

It is performed by Not Your Circus Dog Collective, a company of learning-disabled and neurodivergent artists, which proudly makes “radical, political, subversive and shameless sexy punk queer crip cabaret-theatre”. 

“Our collective exists to invert conventional stereotypes and labels,” said Dr Terret, who identifies as neurodivergent. "Not F**kin' Sorry! is subversive cabaret that mocks and parodies popular culture, bites back at bullying and challenges ingrained prejudices and taboos.

"We wanted something that was really using the performance to raise those taboo issues, so we wanted to make it into a cabaret-style performance. It is about giving neurodivergent and disabled people a voice and the rights to express themselves. We want people to understand who we are.”

Not F**kin' Sorry! is a joint theatre production by Not Your Circus Dog Collective in partnership with Access All Areas. Not Your Circus Dog Collective is: Adam Smith, Housni ‘DJ’ Hassan, Daisy Hale, Emma Selwyn, Liselle Terret, Stephanie Newman.
