This panel reflects on a perennial concern in our field. What do we mean by ‘inclusion’, ‘access’ and ‘belonging’ in arts and culture? We will reflect communally on innovative responses to decolonisation, diversity, and intersectionality. How do we move more meaningfully towards inclusion and what does it look like and feel like as a collaborative artform/praxis? We will hear from a range of voices to make sense of the messy complexities involved in co-creating theatre across difference.
