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.

Pam lives with ADHD, complex PTSD, and a history of acute and chronic major depression.
