Year 9 student Evie created her very own podcast, 'Talking in the Dark' to raise awareness about blindness, visual impairment and disability in general, in a happy and light-hearted way. Evie was born with a condition called bilateral anopthalmia, meaning her eyes didn’t develop, and as a result Evie now wears prosthetics. Through the podcast Evie aims to get rid of the stigma and stereotypes around disabilities whilst having fun conversations at the same time! During the interviews Evie will talk to people from all walks of life, including, at times, people with physical conditions like hers, getting to know all about them and the lives that they lead.
This week, Evie chats with James and Laura from the world famous Hammond School for Performing Arts!
James and Laura visited Ballakermeen to work with drama and performing arts students to give them an insight into what life is like at the Hammond.
This lovely conversation is full of wonderful information for any aspiring performer and also touches upon how Evie engages with theatre. Fascinating!
Thank you to James and Laura from the Hammond for coming in to speak with Evie - it was truly lovely to meet you both!
