Today’s episode is all about theatre with Jason Dorwart (@HamOnWheels) and Samuel Valdez. Jason is a Visiting Assistant Professor of Theater at Oberlin College and he recently directed a play by John Belluso titled Body of Bourne about WWI era essayist, pacifist and disability rights advocate Randolph Bourne. Samuel is an actor, playwright, and director who has worked with several groups around San Diego such as Sledgehammer Theater, Chronos Theater, Los Amigos del REP, and currently his own performing arts bi-national company CARPA San Diego. Both Jason and Samuel share how they became involved in theatre and the work that remains in making theatre more accessible and inclusive of disabled people. Disability Visibility is a production of the Disability Visibility Project, an online community dedicated to recording, amplifying, and sharing disability media and culture.
