Reflection of the Petra Kupper reading and Accessibility

Dance-and ultimately art-as a laboratory for disability culture is an interesting topic regarding the way we think about language and how disability is discussed. The laboratory, or the lab, within artistic terminology is commonly thought of as a space in which creativity and ideas are generated and explored. It makes me think that in what ways can a laboratory be accessible, how can a space curate a natural process of generating creativity and ideas in more ways than just physical? How can a space break down mental, emotional, or spiritual barriers to not only create freely but to find joy in what you're creating?
