The learning disabled members write their own music and lyrics and have devised and toured 10 full-scale musical productions across the UK and mainland Europe. They have also produced a television programme on the company, released an album and CD of music, and represented the UK at festivals and other events in Europe. Heart'n Soul draws heavily on the personal experiences of its artists, and their performances reflect their unique and challenging viewpoint of the world. The company aims to broaden the skills and employment opportunities of learning disabled people by training them to work in various arts activities. It plays an essential role in raising the profile of people with learning disabilities in the mainstream arts and media.
Soul are a group that say what they think with music, drama and dance.
When you are down and depressed their music makes you feel strong enough to get back on your feet again. The show explores the performers dream for a better world, and is delivered with Heart'n Soul's inimitable style. A touch of glitter and a lot of groove. Infectious and poignant, audiences are invited on a helter-skelter ride of emotions exploding in a celebration of life that is impossible to ignore. Wild cabaret and club extravaganza, designed and run, by and for people with learning disabilities.
