About this Event

ONLINE LIVE STREAM TICKETS AVAILABLE

Join us as we unpack for an intimate conversation with burlesque icon, Little Peaches, on Disabled Joy. Hosted by Georgia Bondy, founder of healthcare and wellbeing start-up, Well Adapt.

Disabled Joy is a serios of talks on finding the joys and pleasures in disability. Born out of a solo-artist commisson from the Raze Collective, the projects has since developed beyond artist Georgia Bondy's studio, and taken many forms. However, the core questions remains the same: what is Disabled Joy?


Little Peaches is an award-winning dancer with more than 25 years experience.
She's been booked in 12 countries around the world from the rainforest in Australia to the largest burlesque show in the world in Las Vegas- The Burlesque Hall of fame. She's also been named in the 50 most influential burlesque figures in the world, twice.

Peaches creates acts that give a glimpse into the lives disabled people live. She believes wholeheartedly that everyone can dance, even if only with breath. She teaches this and how to embrace and accept how our bodies move and don't move in her meditative dance classes. Through all her travels her heart lies with her show DisabiliTease. This passion project grew out of a chat she had with her Burlesque Mumma back home in Australia who also has a disability. We agreed that one day we would both dance in our wheelchairs in a duet getting our clothes stuck in each others wheels ripping them off. Finding an accessible stage to do this was going to be a mission. Thus DisabiliTease was born. A cabaret starring amazing disabled performers from across the globe. DisabiliTease boasts dancers, singers, poets, comedians and so much more in an accessible environment for both performers and audience members.
Little Peaches believes that we should be able to celebrate our bodies and minds in all forms and vows to dance till this is no longer a fight.


Georgia Bondy is a performer, researcher and chronic-illness coach who proactively shares perspectives and strategies around disability. She has a range of experience under her belt: a Master in Science degree in Brain, Behaviour & Cognition and Chemistry, a PhD-in-progress around Disability, Pleasure & Sex, and three years in a science education tech startup.

The brainchild of these passions is Georgia’s business, It’s an online platform that provides mental health and physical exercise courses, created for and by disabled people.

As a disabled person, Georgia has personal experience with the lack of online resources for mental health or fitness that are accessible and relevant. While experiencing deterioration from chronic fatigue, she was recommended physical exercise but nobody could tell her what to do without it causing debilitating flare-ups.

Well Adapt’s courses use pre-existing wellbeing techniques like mindfulness, meditation and pilates. However, they will leverage the experience of disabled people like Georgia to make them more accessible and disability focused.

“Despite the fact that 16 percent of the global population is disabled, most online resources for mental health or fitness lack even basic accessibility features like closed captions or sign language. I have created Well Adapt to change this"
