Solar Bear was originally set up in 2002 with the intention of working to create exciting, innovative, multidisciplinary theatre. With a strong social commitment, they aim to make progress in areas of accessibility, inclusion and integration and to develop and deliver a wide range of education, outreach and training programmes. Solar Bear’s Deaf Youth Theatre (DYT), based in Glasgow, is for young deaf people aged 11 – 21 years. Amongst many highlights they run weekly workshops, create original new shows, and make films.
