This paper addresses the accessibility of dance and performer training for people with disabilities, focussing on two case studies at Swiss art universities in the context of the research project DisAbility on Stage. Two stage labs, at the Accademia Teatro Dimitri in the Italian-speaking part of Switzerland and at the Zurich University of the Arts in the German-speaking part of Switzerland, aimed to develop skills at the intersection of educational practices, theatre, and dance, productions by and with artists with disabilities, and practice-based research at art universities.
