What do I mean by 'Access First' Producer?

This final blog post is a space for potential collaborators and clients to understand what I mean by Access-First Producer.

Accessibility, inclusive practice, and anti-ableism are central to my approach. Embedding these at the outset of any arts project is crucial, along with budgetting and scheduling that supports this. While I recognise that sometimes arts projects may fall short in delivering fully on these commitments, without them I will not consider becoming involved in them.

The remaining posts in this blog document my 2022 Arts Council funded DYCP project, Radical Accessibility, in which I shaped my practice by studying and researching radical thinking and writing around access and anti-ableism, as well as receiving mentoring sessions with leading disabled arts practitioners.
