Disrupt Disability Arts Festival CLG

Disrupt Disability Arts Festival Company Limited by Guarantee is a vibrant, community‑led organisation that celebrates disability‑led creativity across Ireland. Curated by and for the disability community, Disrupt delivers an annual festival that showcases a rich tapestry of theatre, dance, literature‑based performance and visual arts, all presented in accessible formats and relaxed venues to ensure everyone can engage fully.

Beyond the flagship festival, Disrupt runs a suite of initiatives that nurture emerging talent and broaden participation. The Creative Access Production Programme 2025 offers mentorship and production support, while open calls, exhibitions, panel discussions and workshops—both in‑person and online—provide platforms for artists to experiment, collaborate and share their stories. Highlights such as “Toilet Paper Diaries”, “SQUISHY!” and “Unusual Gestures” illustrate the festival’s commitment to pushing boundaries and reshaping narratives around disability and the arts.

With a focus on empowerment through assistive technology and inclusive practice, Disrupt serves artists, audiences and cultural partners who seek a dynamic, accessible arts experience that challenges conventions and celebrates diversity.
