Accessibility Audits, Consultations and Workshops
CRIPSiE offers workshops, consultations, and venue audits to help any member of the public to run more accessible and inclusive events. We perform dozensof audits and consultations each year, mostly for non-profit organizations, artistic festivals, and conferences.
CRIPSiE's expertise in this area is based not only on over a decade of experience producing accessible art, but also decades of collective experience in navigating the world with a wide variety of impairments and experiences of marginalization. Various CRIPSiE members also have formal training in this area, including Occupational Therapy certifications, graduate degrees in Disability Studies and Adapted Physical Activity, and internationally recognized training in integrated dance.
Anyone can book an audit, consultation or workshop on Accessibility by Contacting Lindsay for a quote.
These services are delivered on a sliding scale: generally it costs $100 per (small) venue.
