[Candrama] Release: DRAMATURGIES OF ACCESSIBILITY, open access P/M journal issue

[Pil Hansen]

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 Performance Matters, co-edited by Pil Hansen and Jessica Watkin.

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.

The issue is published in large font with plain language abstracts, image descriptions, and curated ASL and/or voice versions.

It has been an honour to work with my co-editor, Jessica Watkin; the insightful, generous, and beautifully diverse authors named below; and the full editorial team of Performance Matters. Thank you!
