Working with Ada on her R&D was a joy, I learnt a lot! Ada is a playful and intuitive space holder but also takes her work very seriously and is highly knowledgeable about making accessible theatre. You can't help but smile when you are in a rehearsal room with Ada, her vibrancy and positivity rubs off on everyone. She makes it so you feel your voice matters and this makes for exciting collaboration. I would jump at the chance to work with Ada again, a really enjoyable experience.'

I spent 5 days with Ada, working on an R and D project on the themes of youth and ageing. Ada created an open and inclusive safe space with a strong sense of fun and collaboration. She is very knowledgeable in her field and knew exactly what she wanted.

“Ada was supportive, understanding and made the whole project much better for her input. She made the experience of writing Creative Audio Description so creatively fulfilling that I really hope I can work with her again in future!”

“Ada was incredibly helpful in her short time with us as we were developing our Touch Tour for Stopgap’s new work Lived Fiction. After watching a run-through of the work, Ada instinctively knew that we wanted our touch tour to reflect the creative integrated audio description in our work, and began helping me to think of exciting ways we could curate the touch tour to reflect that. Ada was patient and welcoming to our questions, offering a lot of insight into how best we can support blind and visually impaired audiences. Ada was also incredibly warm and passionate about our work, which was really encouraging and I’m so grateful for her time and energy.”
