Please join us for Performers with Disabilities: Inclusion, Authenticity & Allyship, part of SAG-AFTRA’s series of livestream conversations exploring the intersection of storytelling, inclusion in the entertainment industry and equal opportunity for all.
In recent news there’s been a push for more diversity across ethnicities, gender and sexual identity or orientation, with members across the industry advocating for more inclusion. However, there has been far less dialogue around the need for greater inclusion of performers with disabilities in productions in general, as well as authenticity in storytelling around characters who have disabilities.
This conversation will look at where we are now, where we need to be and how we can foster changes that move the industry forward toward greater inclusion and authenticity.
