Abstract
Recently in the field of disability and performance, the term “inspiration porn” has emerged. The term itself relates to the ways in which disabled bodies are often represented as being objects of inspiration for the benefit of the nondisabled. Such emotional containments limit disability from being perceived as a complex and valuable presence in performance. Choosing moments from her fieldwork with Theatre Terrific in Vancouver, British Columbia, and viewing of Theater HORA’s Disabled Theater in Montreal, Quebec, McAskill explores how disabled artists are challenging such limits and common perceptions of disability through their artistic choices. In the case of Theatre Terrific, McAskill discusses a company conversation around the politics of cheering for disabled people onstage. In comparison, she critiques her own reaction to Disabled Theater performed by Theater HORA, a Zurich-based company, during their Canadian tour in Toronto, Ontario and Montreal, Quebec. At the core of this article, McAskill emphasizes ways in which understandings of disability and theatre making are shifting in Canada through these specific performances and dialogues.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
