Public Workshops and Teach-Ins Alongside  Performances

CRIPSiE regularly runs public educational workshops and performances around the themes of  integrated dance, disability arts, accessible creative methods, and disability-inclusive community-building and programming.
  • We organize and host several workshops each year on these topics.
  • We organize public "teach-ins" or "talk-backs" in association with all of our performances in order to facilitate learning about integrate dance.
  • We run such workshops and performances for other non-profits, community groups, service organizations, schools, public events, festivals, and conferences.

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. 

Currently, we do not offer this workshop or audit. However, you can connect with Lindsay Eales or Kelsie Acton to request information or book an audit, consultation or workshop on Accessibility.

We also offer free information here:
  • On how to audit a venue (co-designed by CRIPSiE members):  http://spaceedmonton.blogspot.ca/p/audit-guidelines.html
  • On how to put together an accessible 'relaxed' performance:  cripsie_relaxed_performance_reflections.pdf 

Company Classes - Open to the Public

CRIPSiE offers company classes at least once a year. Classes will use improvisation to explore composition and dynamics. Dancers will have a chance to explore their individual dance and adaptation skills, and practice moving with a group. These classes are open to everyone. We encourage people interest in dancing and in choreographing to attend.
