20 January – 14 February

This show belongs to the FRINGE WORLD Festival 2026 season. This season is now over.

A small group of diverse dolls sits together on sunlit grass at dusk. Two dolls use wheelchairs while the others sit in a loose circle, facing one another as if chatting quietly in the warm evening light.
A trio of dolls sit and stand on a sunlit skate park surface: one doll uses a wheelchair, one holds a skateboard, and one with long braids sits beside them. In the background, a skateboarder mid-jump blurs past.
Three dolls sit in a loose circle on sunlit grass near the water, with a wheelchair positioned behind one of them, as if they're sharing a relaxed outdoor moment together.

HOT MESS ACCESS

HOT MESS ACCESS is a showcase of bold stories from young disabled creatives, told their way.

Following a supportive eight-week Creative Development program, five young artists share their experiences navigating the world as disabled young people on their own terms.

Bringing their lived experience to the stage with humour and grit, HOT MESS ACCESS presents the next wave of disabled stories that are bold, messy and impossible to ignore. 

All creatives on this project are disabled, and all have been paid at professional industry rates.

Special events:
Fri, 6th Feb - Smoking Ceremony & Opening Night 
Sat, 14th Feb - Closing Night & Community Gathering 

Supported by the Town of Victoria Park, National Ethnic Disability Alliance and Youth Disability Advocacy Network. 

This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through Creative Australia, its principal arts investment and advisory body.
