Leesa Nash

Leesa Nash is a director who actively promotes the accessibility of training and performance for people of all movement and learning styles. She has directed inclusive theatre since 1997 and has performed extensively with the mixed ability companies Weave Movement Theatre and Stretch Physical Theatre. In 2002, she initiated Family Dog Theatre FDT (formerly Family Dog Circus), an inclusive theatre training company offering performance and production training to people of all abilities – with a focus on creating both recreational and career pathways for youth with disabilities. A unique part of the training is a process combining performance improvisation, lighting, sound and projection using accessible technical equipment. In 2007 & 2009, Family Dog Theatre hosted The Bow WOW! Festival – inviting youth to ‘Come see what we can do together.’ She is also, currently the Coordinator of the Certificate 1 in Creative industries (Ignition Theatre Training) NMIT- the only vocational theatre training for performers with disabilities in Australia.
