<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.0pt">It is with huge pleasure and gratitude that I announce the release of DRAMATURGIES OF ACCESSIBILITY, an international double issue of the open access journal
<i>Performance Matters,</i> co-edited by Pil Hansen and Jessica Watkin.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.0pt">In this rich resource, authors consider the creative and educational potentials that emerge when we place the strengths of people with disabilities at the centre of our ways of working. Dramaturgical agency
derives from awareness about how creative ideas are sourced, how collaboration is organized, the design of creative processes and methods, and how composition affects audiences. Authors directs such agency towards: (1) understanding how disability troubles
normative ways of working; (2) working and learning with the people in in the room; (3) expanding ways of imagining, communicating, and sensing; (4) working with the aesthetics, ethos, and rigorous practices of accessibility; and (5) Re-stor(y)ing to produce
accessible realities. We invite you to draw inspiration and partake in a growing community of knowledge on dramaturgies of accessibility.
