Help contribute to this research!
Do you identify as a theatre artist or arts administrator with chronic illness? Do you know anyone who fits this criteria? Take the survey yourself, or help spread the word.
This is an anonymous survey. Input is welcome from anyone who self-identifies as chronically ill, and who works in theatre in Canada (creators, performers, directors, playwrights, designers, stage managers, technicians, producers etc). The purpose of the survey is to examine specific challenges and access needs for chronically ill theatre artists.

From the Artist:
“I firmly believe there is so much possibility for cross-disciplinary collaborations in the arts, especially in theatre. So, as I try to produce my new play It Sticks to the Ryver, I want to create a communal gallery space that lives and breathes with the world of the play.”
The Play:It Sticks to the Ryver is a play written for, with, and by disabled people (more specifically neurodiverse folk). Through it, we follow The Person, a college student, and The Other, a humanoid bird, as they learn to live and (re)grow together as a world collapses around them. After all, sometimes all you need is someone willing to wait with you.
The Google Form: It is meant as a way for me to connect with, see, read, hear, and generally interact with the work (artistic or academic) of my fellow queer and/or disabled creators. Any creator at any stage of their career/hobby is welcome to submit their work!
