We would like to sincerely thank Bridget Garnham and Dawn Butler for the help they have given in bringing this edition to fruition. Their editorial assistance has been greatly appreciated and has created space for the intellectual labour involved in conceptually arranging a special edition.
Notes
1. Restless Dance Company was formed in 1991 and became Restless Dance Theatre in 2008.
2. We would like to acknowledge the work of Leslie Roman (Citation2009a, Citation2009b) in this area and particularly the leadership in disability arts in education demonstrated in the special issue, “Disability, arts, culture and politics: New epistemologies for qualitative research” in International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education (2009).
3. More recently, Body and Society has published a special edition on the turn to affect, (see vol. 16, no. 29, 2010). Of particular interest is Patricia Ticineto Clough's ‘Afterword: The future of affect studies’ (Citation2010).
