That, if we look at narcissism as an important tool to safeguard shame, and potentially also factors such as depression (with arguments highlighting that low states of narcissism is an indicator for depression or personal mental health issues).  That the way in which we as artists feed this enables a cultural control over our ability to handle certain elements of the world that we are living in. And potentially feeding, as highlighted in Snakes in Suits, both the good and bad elements of it.

 That it is likely the next generation of artists will find issue with our current take on how we relate to feeling special, and the way in which we might or might not shame others. 

I have worked as a researcher on disability-led initiatives through The CF:SLR Cohort and PlayWell.  (The report for PlayWell can be found here https://weareplaywell.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/PlayWell-Preventative-Care-Report-2022.pdf, the report for the CF:SLR Cohort has not been released).  I have also been asked to mentor a number of disabled performers and filmmakers (through Arts Emergency, and RCSSD).  I am soon to be working as an access coordinator on the next iteration of audio podcast: https://hearmyselfthink.co.uk/  I have also taught workshops on working with performers with cognitive disabilities - the notes for which can be found here: https://www.chloenkennedy.co.uk/notes-from-workshop.
