In this study—my most recent area of work—I explore notions of inter-sensory translation, encounters, exchanges, and cultures within collaborations among blind, Deaf, deafblind, hearing, and sighted performers. I also address questions of reclaiming and appropriating disability, as well as dilemmas surrounding hiring, casting, and representation. Building on Disability Culture’s politicized call for a return to the phenomenology of disabled people, performance studies’ attention to the political role of theatre in contested domains, and “new interculturalism” scholars’ framing of performance as a vital site of cultural dialogue, I situate my research on disability theatre within these intersecting frameworks. My work joins their call to foreground affect and touch, the visceral and sensory body, and corporeality more broadly in the scholarly analysis of cultural exchange—especially across difference, and in contested times and places.
