Caroline Bowditch is a performance artist and arts leader who has spent more than two decades shaping disabled culture in Australia and the UK. A recipient of the Sidney Myer Creative Fellowship for 2025 to 2026, she continues to influence how disability is understood in dance and the wider arts sector.

We explore her pivotal work Falling in Love with Frida, and how reclaiming Frida Kahlo through a disabled lens transformed her artistic voice. Caroline also shares her move from freelance performer to leading Arts Access Victoria, why disabled people need to be inside institutions to create real change, and what disabled dance looks and feels like in practice.

In this episode of The I Can’t Stand Podcast, I speak with author and performer Pam Joy Wood about psychosocial disability, long term mental health recovery, and the power of self advocacy.

Pam lives with ADHD, complex PTSD, and a history of acute and chronic major depression. Through her solo show DYS-ORDER-ED and her memoir Five Fat Sausages, she shares what it means to survive systemic failure within healthcare, misdiagnosis, medication side effects, and institutional harm and how she rebuilt her life through creativity and radical joy.

As mentioned in the episode, DYS-ORDER-ED is available to download and watch for free here:

Psychosocial Disability, Self Advocacy and Creative Recovery with Pam Joy Wood

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/d9d8a2a9-aaf4-4c28-a5e7-b3f30015f943/transcript

In this episode, Peta speaks with Jane Wardlaw about mentorship, mobility, and the deeply personal decision of when to start using a wheelchair. Jane shares her lived experience of growing up with muscular dystrophy, navigating changing mobility, and how a wheelchair became a tool for safety, freedom, and possibility rather than loss.

Together, they explore why mentorship matters for disabled people, especially when navigating identity, independence, and systems like the NDIS.
