Crip-centred creativity in conversation with queerness. A night of poetry and drama by disabled writers and performers, that centres the crip experience, not seeking to justify or explain. ÌýCome into a disabled-centred space and experience work by disabled people made without an intention of affecting the non-disabled world. Who are we when we aren’t being defined by the non-disabled gaze, and what creative potentials do we hold when we are not being limited by normative barriers of any kind?
This show features the first reading of work from Jamie Hale’s new Crip Monologues, as well as poetry and monologues written by disabled Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê students taking part in a creative series of workshops investigating what it means to centre the disabled voice in narrative-making.
