Abstract
Abstract: The creation of the Disability, Theatre, and Performance (DTaP) Focus Group at the ATHE Conference 2023 marks a crucial step for inclusivity in academia and the arts for disabled scholars and artists. Despite facing obstacles, DTaP initiated effective efforts and garnered support from other focus groups at the 2023 conference. However, limitations and accessibility issues at the conference revealed ongoing challenges faced by disabled participants, highlighting the persistent barriers they encounter. This milestone founding represents progress, yet it also underscores the continued struggle for equitable representation and recognition.
