Creative Potential

Human Rights, Article 23,

The development by persons with disabilities of their personality, talents and creativity, as well as their mental and physical abilities, to their fullest potential (United Nations, 2008)

Raincoat & Slippers believes that it is the human right of every unique individual to express themselves; to learn about themselves and about the world around them. 

Each individual has the right to, not only the opportunity, but the relevant support, to be the best version of their creative self.

At Raincoat & Slippers we have learned that there is no ceiling on expectations. And have adopted an approach which asks, what can we do to make it happen?

And the winner is…..

Clare is the Artistic Director of ShowDowns! (a Raincoat and Slippers creation)

It all started almost 10 years ago, when Clare co-founded ShowDowns, a Drama Company for teens and adults with Down’s Syndrome.

The Company has since gone on from strength-to-strength and recently bagged the SCLD (Scottish Commission for Learning Disability) and Creative Scotland Award. The award was in the Creative Communities category.

To say that we are over the moon, doesn’t cover it!
