If you need convincing about the potential talent that can be unlocked through greater inclusion and the wider impact this can have on society, then perhaps Rose Ayling-Ellis can provide it. Deaf since birth, Rose has consistently defied her doubters, not only demonstrating a talent for acting in the likes of Stephen Poliakoff’s Summer of Rockets (2019) and as a regular on EastEnders (2020-2022), but also winning Strictly Come Dancing (2021) with pro dancer Giovanni Pernice. Their silent Couple’s Choice dance won a BAFTA this year in the publicly voted Virgin Media Must-see Moment category. Rose is about to make her West End debut as Celia in Shakespeare’s As You Like It. It’s a far cry from when Rose was scrambling around Facebook, agent-less, searching for work.
