During the pandemic, individuals with disabilities have felt increasingly invisible, as venues have reduced accommodations rather than improving them, exacerbating accessibility issues.
Rather than innovating with technology to include disabled patrons, theaters pulled back on COVID safety measures, leading to a further decline in their participation.
The AXIS Dance Company performance, featuring dancers with disabilities, exemplified how live events can successfully integrate COVID safety protocols while being inclusive.
The recent Ecos showcase at ODC not only highlighted works by disabled artists but was also a model for balancing audience safety with artistic expression.
