Jane Latham, Development Manager of UCAN Productions said ' We are extremely grateful to the School of Optometry for allowing us to use their wonderful building. It's a perfect place for us to meet and a wonderful opportunity for our young people to meet and build relationships with the students and visual impairment specialists, We think it is a perfect example of how arts and science can work together.
Dr Christine Purslow, Director for Innovation & Engagement within the School of Optometry and Vision Sciences said, “We are really pleased to have these talented young people joining our community in the School. We look forward to a long, supportive partnership and the opportunities for our own budding optometrists to work on some joint theatre projects.”
