The authors re-present a paper given at a conference on the performing arts of people with 'learning difficulties', where the audience was made up of performers, workers, providers and researchers. This paper attempted to be accessible, theoretical, political and practical. Secondly, the authors reflect upon this paper in relation to seven points of analysis that emerge at the boundaries of disability politics and disability research. Argues throughout that real efforts must be made to bridge these boundaries in ways that augment disability theory and politics together.
