About This Publication
Arts contribute to the ways in which we experience the world and what it is to be alive now. They are forms of ‘other languages’ that can often respond more effectively to the ambiguous and often conflicting nature of what it is to be human. They enable us to play, to dream, to laugh and to cry. In this inspiring lifeline, Tony Fegan, Director of the London International Festival of Theatre and long-term community arts activist, advises arts and education workers how to make community arts a vibrant part of their programmes – especially with non-traditional learners.
