I meet with Joanne Roughton-Arnold, co-founder of formidAbility, an opera company putting accessibility at the foundation of the creative process. We discuss the challenges of setting up a creative company with many collaborators and no budget; producing, commissioning and performing new work; and how we can make the most of the intense creativity of performers who have disabilities to enhance our work from the outset.
