The DisabiliTease Festival was live-streamed, which allowed for 35 performers, 3 emcees, and 78 audience members to tune in from around the world, in the comfort of their home, eliminating many barriers to access. We sold 31 tickets to Friday?s show, 40 tickets to Saturday?s show and 24 tickets to Sunday?s show for $15 each. 13 of the tickets sold were VIP ($30, included a fan shoutout). Tickets were purchased not only in the US, but also in Australia, Canada, England, Scotland, and the Netherlands. Having pre-recorded acts meant that performers were able to take their time filming, rent a space to record, not have the pressure of technology connection or even do multiple takes. We had new audience members, sponsors and advertising opportunities this year, which brought awareness to performers with a disability to a wider audience. Through our workshops, we were able to connect four teachers in the areas of accessibility, fundraising and movement to 34 students across six workshops.
