CRIPtic Arts 2026 Artist Announcement

Autobiographical Work for Theatre-makers

A graphic comprising of a black and white image on a grey background with text in a repeated pattern and two logos. The image is of Theo Angel in rehearsals. Theo, a mixed-race person with pale skin, freckles, short, very curly hair and dark features, is in their manual wheelchair. They hold their hands above their head, mapping out an invisible web. They smile as they look at their right hand. Behind their image is a digitally imposed bright blue drop shadow, with a repeated pattern text reading “Funded by youth music”. The two logos are of CRIPtic Arts and Youth Music Shift the Scene.
