The presence of non-disabled artists challenges the possibility of disability aesthetics in arts and disability projects. This study therefore examines the meaning of disability for the aesthetics of their collaborations and artistic practice through in-depth interviews with twelve Belgian non-disabled performing artists. The findings show that the collaborations often confirm their artistic practice in which the ‘able-bodied’ notion is no longer of their interest. Yet beliefs are also observed that can reinforce ableist ideas and the aesthetic appropriation of disability. Disability aesthetics in arts and disability can only develop fully when structural barriers to disabled performers in the mainstream are removed
