Dan Graham is a Theatre Director and Disability Advocate with a particular interest in access support for neuro-diverse performing artists. Dan himself has a neuro-diverse disability. His directing and access/inclusion work has taken him all over Australia and the world, and include a directing residency at the Atlantic Theatre Company, New York; and a Create NSW Fellowship (2019) which took him to the UK to investigate how access departments at theatre companies, performing arts venues and drama schools meet the needs of trained performing artists with disability, especially those with neuro-diversity.
In 2022, supported by Create NSW and the Canadian Consulate Australia–Directors LabNorth in Toronto, Dan interviewed a number of artists in the performing arts space, as well as leaders in the disability arts space to discuss access.
Dan will shortly take up an Australian Fellowship at the International Society for Performing Arts, New York. Moving forward, Dan will be a Churchill Trust fellow. Daniel Graham – Churchill Trust
At times it can feel a lonely place, this being in Disability Arts Leadership, but to now have the opportunity to work and learn from those who are also the Disability Arts Leadership Community can only assist me on my journey.
