    The Disability Collective (TDC) is the only fully disability-led performing arts organization in Toronto. Founded in late 2020, The Disability Collective is led by disabled artists, advocates, and producers Emily Maxwell, Nathan Sartore, and Ali Hand. Dedicated to celebrating and showcasing work created solely by disabled artists, TDC strives to de-stigmatize disability and challenge perceptions of disability by providing disabled artists with paid opportunities to share their work in a variety of forms, along with actively advocating for and improving accessibility and inclusion in the Canadian arts community by providing disability consultation services.
