Telling the story

The Story of Vulcan (Roman) or Hephaestus (Greek) is a tale of determination and redemption. After being cast out of the heavens by Hera for being born imperfect, Vulcan is raised on Earth to become a great artist and blacksmith whilst living with a physical disability. Our cast is made up of fine Tasmanian actors with intellectual and physical disabilities. They are portraying mythological characters with whom they share an infinity with their own lived experience.

Project Vulcan is an expression by artists with disability about their identity as Tasmanian Australians. As members of a young generation in need of a platform and a voice to be heard on issues such as bushfire prevention and conservation, global warming, disability rights in self-determination, and supporting future arts in a covid-19 world.

Making dreams come true!

We need your HELP!

Project Vulcan is about pursuing your dreams and making them a reality. It is such an exciting project and the opportunity of a lifetime for our performers to pursue their artistic and personal dreams. Studio Space Inclusive Arts are excited to embark on the most significant fundraising drive in its short history. Project Vulcan will take a team of four performers who identify as living with disability and their support team, along with a technical crew and director, on an itinerary covering Tasmania, Victoria, and finally, Edinburgh, Scotland.
