Conversation #1: Feedback and disability arts
Sometimes it is hard to ask for feedback, it can make artists feel anxious or nervous about their work. This conversation is designed to help artists feel comfortable seeking and implementing feedback as a crucial component of creative development and professional practice. It will also discuss the intersection of arts and disability in the work of artists with disability and/or who are d/Deaf, and how this may impact the feedback process.
Panellists:
- Lauren Watson, Aerial Artist
- David Truong, Musician
- Louise Bezzina, Artistic Director, Brisbane Festival

Facilitated by Madeleine Little.

Conversation #2 : Leading in Collaboration
The vision for Undercover Artist Festival 2021 is that all professional creative projects are disability-led. As such, this conversation will go into what ‘disability-led’ means for a creative project and how it affects those involved. It will touch on the impact of representation in a leadership role and how it supports artists with disability/who are D/deaf in the rehearsal room and on the stage. It will also discuss what it means for allies in the space. What is the role of a person without disability in a disability-led space?
Panellists:
- Dan Daw, UK dance artist
- Dr Bree Hadley, Associate Professor,
Queensland University of Technology - Racheal Missingham, theatre artist and
researcher
Facilitated by Madeleine Little.
