Outside the Box/Performing Disability presents an international array of provocative, exotic, and cutting edge performers.
There has been a seismic shift in disability arts over the last decade, both in form and content. Using unique configurations of body, voice, and mind, disabled artists are constructing new art and new art forms.
Mat Fraser, internationally known actor and playwright (Sealboy: Freak, Thalidomide: The Musical) will emcee the event. Fraser was most recently featured as Puck in The Kaos Dream, a revisioning of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, which toured Britain last Fall, where it enjoyed rave reviews, sell out audiences, complaints from Catholic School teachers, and standing ovations.
