Creating a Pathway for Disabled Artists: The Story of Sprung Dance Theatre

In this solo episode, I’m back from a much-needed holiday, and I wanted to give you all an update. The holiday was lovely, but as we all know, life with a disability doesn’t take a break. I faced some challenges—from my beach wheelchair losing power, to my hoist sparking, and my car battery failing twice. It wasn’t the relaxing break I’d hoped for, but I’m sharing the reality of what happened and how I coped.

I also have something exciting to share—🥚there is a little easter egg waiting for you 🥚

Thanks for sticking with me, and I’m so excited to get back on track with fresh episodes coming next week!
