Developmentally, Cognitively, and Intellectually Disabled People Are Artists, Not Pet Projects

Abstract

Abstract:In this autoethnographic piece, Riki Entz writes from their lived experience of Disability in the Canadian theatre industry and clearly outlines the ableism they have experienced as a multiply Disabled person. By providing honest examples of ableism, while also searching for ways that they can fit into this industry, Entz offers grounds for reflecting on ableism and the arts while remaining hopeful for the future.
