“Interdependent Magic: Disability Performance in Canada” is a collection of plays and interviews by, for, and about Disabled theatre artists that invites readers into the magical worlds of Disability arts culture.
The book features four plays as well as an interview with artist Niall McNeil. In “Smudge” by Alex Bulmer, a woman details her journey toward Blindness, mourning what she loses and discovering what her other senses provide. “Access Me” by Boys in Chairs Collective is a celebration of sex and Disability, providing an all-access safe space to spin around. “Antarctica” by Syrus Marcus Ware imagines a world where racialized people have survived multiple catastrophes and must begin terraforming a new colony. And in “Deafy” by Chris Dodd, a Deaf public speaker takes the audience on an unexpected journey of discovering what it really means to belong.
