Dalibor Šandor is a Serbian learning-disabled performer and director who works with Europe Beyond Access I partner Per.Art, an independent inclusive performing arts organisation based in Novi Sad, Serbia.
Invited to join Per.Art at a moment of crisis in his life, Dalibor has been a member of the group for over ten years and has also taken part in Europe Beyond Access artist laboratories in Hamburg and Malmö. He is co-creator of We Are Not Monsters, a powerful theatre piece commissioned by Europe Beyond Access, which he developed working in close artistic collaboration with internationally acclaimed French choreographer Xavier Le Roy, dramaturg Marcel Bugiel and a team of creatives.
