Choreographing Access: Disability-Led Dance in Canada and Beyond with Dr. Kelsie Acton
In this episode of the History in 60 Companion Podcast, host John Loeppky explores inclusive and disability-led dance with Dr. Kelsie Acton. For generations, dance has been defined by uniformity, precision, and bodies moving in specific, codified ways. That definition often left disabled dancers outside the frame. But over the past several decades, disabled artists and companies have redefined what dance can look like, expanding technique, reshaping rehearsal spaces, and embedding access directly into performance itself. Drawing on her experience as a dance artist, inclusive practice leader, and scholar, Dr. Kelsie Acton reflects on how inclusive dance spaces are built, why language around disability and dance continues to evolve, and how access functions for both performers and audiences. Together, they examine how disability history is carried forward not only in archives and books, but in bodies through repertoire, repetition, and creative practice.

Who Gets Remembered? Disability, Journalism, and Public Memory in Canada with Clay Ma
In this episode of the History in 60 Companion Podcast, host John Loeppky speaks with Clay Ma, bilingual subject editor at The Canadian Encyclopedia, about how disability history gets recorded and how it sometimes disappears. From journalism and editorial decision-making to plain language summaries, alt text, and remote work, this conversation explores the practical and political realities of documenting disability in Canada. What does it mean to have a duty of representation? How do editors decide which stories get told? And how can media institutions create more space for disabled storytellers? Together, John and Clay examine how public memory is shaped not only by major events, but by who is paying attention and who is missing from the newsroom.
