The Future of Disability Storytelling

What does the future of disability storytelling look like? In this episode, we explore how narrative, agency, and identity are shaping new possibilities across art forms and genres. Joining the conversation are two incredible guests, Christopher Bryant, an award-winning playwright, performer, and educator, and Bria McCarthy, a Wiradjuri artist and writer whose practice spans theatre, literature, film, education, and experimental shadow puppetry. Together, they share bold ideas and creative insights into how disability storytelling is evolving and where it’s headed next.
