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.
Artists are members of the Edmonton-based dance company CRIPSiE (The Collaborative Radically Integrated Performers Society in Edmonton) (www.cripsie.ca).
