Robertson Wesley United Church 10219 123 street Friday April 7th 6-9pm Supported by Edmonton Arts Council and Robertson Wesley United Church Spiritual Arts Collective Programming Free of Charge! Through Dance performances, Video, Photos, and short interactive Teach-Ins, this engaging all-ages session will explore ideas of disability-related accessibility, community, creativity and social change. The artists will explore different ways to understand negative perceptions and opportunities of and engage with disability. Participants will learn some of the grounded tools that disability artist and activist communities use to meaningfully include people experiencing disability, and to spark creativity and change. At the heart of this performance-talk is the idea that disability is generative: that it often sparks opportunities for thinking, doing, connecting, and creating in more imaginative and meaningful ways.

Talk-back & Reception after the November 19th show 8:30pm, open to all! ASL and captioning will be provided and both will be Relaxed Performances. Choreographed by Alice Shepard
Succumb explores care-- when we accept it, when we reject it. How do we express care without touch or contact? When and how is care a joy? When is care a “care” or a “burden”? What are some of the unwritten and unspoken ideas around care in our different communities? How do we “take” care; who does the “care-giving?” Why? Succumb searches for connection, seeks relationship, exposes the desire to belong. Featuring Kelsie Acton Kaylee Borgstrom Sara Campos-Silvius Lindsay Eales Jinny Hilliard Bobman Jeffrey Rebecca John Erin Newman Danielle Peers Nicolle Pilon Mary Schneider Alex Sutherland About Alice Sheppard Alice creates movement that challenges conventional understandings of disabled and dancing bodies.
