  Tutti Arts - Say No More' 2018 Program - reads, in part “To create this unique work over 60 women from Malaysia. Indonesia and Australia. of all ages wirh and wirhour disabilities came together in mid 2017 to talk about what is happening for them as women now. The stories sha1·ed by women in all three countries shared the common themes of family. Marriage and women's relationship to the state. This informed the conceit of the wedding reception as a setting for the theatre work. and also became a starting point for the films and installations that grew from the later workshops.”

• "International Year of the Disabled Person (IYDP)"
  In 1976, the General Assembly proclaimed 1981 would be the Year of the Disabled Person. The 1981 International Year of the Disabled Person inspired an increase in awareness and disability arts. While UN theme was “full participation and equality” the theme in Australia was “Break down the Barriers”, raising the prole and issues of people with disabilities. The international year of the disabled persons was a catalyst for connecting Australian disability activists to each other and the international disability rights movement (Royal Commission, 2021, p. 6). Australia saw an increase in disability-themed theatre from 1981 to 1984; however, these performances were largely staged with non-disabled casts. Records of these productions can be found on the AusStage database.
