In this episode, our guest is the charismatic, insightful, philosophical, and moving Tim Webb. Tim is the founder of the UK's Oily Cart company today
Tim's work in theatre spans many decades and is focused on creating sensory engaging theatre for children with PMLDs or Profound Multiple Learning Disabilities. PLMD is not just those who are neurodivergent such as having an autism spectrum disorder but also includes those who have difficulty speaking, seeing, or hearing as well as those with other physical, mental, emotional or social challenges. The audiences are often very small and the scripts very personal and adaptable. It's truly incredible. To get a good overview of Tim's work I would suggest this article: https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2017/mar/26/tim-webb-director-childrens-theatre-oily-cart-in-a-pickle-q-and-a
In this episode of the podcast, we discuss Tim's history in the field and some of his favorite productions. He discusses his new book that is under contract as well as giving us insight into what he thinks makes this kind of theatre tick -- and what makes TYA effective generally. I had the chance to have a week-long intensive with him as a graduate student at the University of Central Florida, and we discuss some of what I've learned. Tim is a delight to listen to and a fountain of wisdom. I think you'll enjoy listening to him.
