Interview with Phil Samphire, disability arts information
and advocacy worker. Age 34. Comes from Manchester.
What does your job involve?
It sounds really interesting.
Have you always worked in the arts?
What did you study?
So what did you do after
your degree?
Which aspects of your
job do you like the most?
It's a bit of a stock answer but working with such a wide
range of people is great. And I really enjoy training organisations
about their policies and approach to disabled people under
Disability Equality Training. At the end of a session you
know you've made an impact and that they are going do things
differently. Attitudes are changing and new careers are opening
up for disabled people in the arts and I feel I'm helping
to make that change.
What about the least enjoyable
aspects?
Any advice?
And do you look forward
to work every day?
