A solid introduction both to ideas around theater and disability and ways of writing about it. I would have liked a little bit more around writing about audience and disability maybe from a performance studies or theater studies perspective, though Kuppers's pieces were interesting at the beginning especially about her own viewing embodied/"enminded" (embodyminded?) experience. But definitely very accessible and interesting, super short--I read in one sitting pretty much over the course of a morning--and could be really useful especially in the classroom.
