How Wellington's DAT Festival aims to be an arts show

Creatif Kate has done an interview with RNZ.

What does it take to make an arts festival truly inclusive? Creatif Kate knows, she's is one half of the creative force behind Wellington's Disabled Artists' Theatre or DAT - Festival, along with Susan Williams. It's into its third year, helping to showcase hearing or vision impaired, neuro-divergent or disabled performing artists, writers and filmmakers. The festival is on now until November 17. It was born out of the cancellation of Disability Pride Week - and is getting bigger each year, despite the squeeze on arts budgets.
