About Us
Located in South Gippsland, (it’s no) drama is a not-for-profit arts company redefining how people with disabilities contribute to the cultural life of our community through innovative, high-quality, multi-disciplinary art projects.
​
Founded in 2015 by Emily Ardley, who recognised the lack of inclusive professional arts programs, (it’s no) drama emerged to provide meaningful creative arts experiences for people with and without disabilities in regional Victoria.
​
We produce and showcase the work of disabled artists, arts workers, and creatives, creating a space where accessibility and artistic excellence intersect.
Our purpose
Our mission is to:
-
Create and present moving artistic experiences that enrich the lives of participants with and without disabilities in our regional community.
-
Demonstrate best practices in accessibility and inclusion through our work.
What We Do
At (it’s no) drama, we:
-
Elevate the profile and participation of disabled people in the creative industries.
-
Ensure disabled people have agency as artists, mentors, audiences, innovators, influencers, and leaders in regional creative industries.
-
Transform how the creative industries engage with disabled people.
-
Lead change that benefits disabled people and the wider community.
Our Belief
We believe art has the power to inspire cultural, economic, personal, and political change. By fostering a vibrant arts and cultural sector, we aim to create a society where disabled people are fully represented and engaged across all aspects of the creative industries.
Our Commitment
While (it’s no) drama is not an NDIS-registered provider, our governance and quality management framework is guided by the Human Rights Charter, Human Services Standards, and the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission Code of Conduct.
NDIS participants with self-managed or plan-managed funding are welcome to access our programs, supports, and services. We are committed to upholding the highest standards of inclusion and quality to ensure our programs meet the needs of all participants.
