In this presentation, Eales and Peers dance a quartet with disability and madness. They draw together critical disability and Mad theory, spoken word, dance performance and film. They weave these forms into critical reflections on representations of disability and madness in the arts, access to the arts and the generative possibilities of cripping and maddening the arts. The performance will be followed by a discussion with Eales and Peers.
Eales and Peers are both associated with the Faculty of Kinesiology, Sport and Recreation at the University of Alberta, where Eales is a PhD candidate and Peers is an assistant professor. Eales鈥檚 PhD research is on madness and performance art; she has choreographed and performed integrated dance for 10 years. Peers鈥檚 research on disability movement cultures builds on their experiences as a Paralympian, filmmaker and dancer.
The Disruptions: Dialogues on Disability Art series is curated by Prof. Michael Orsini, of the School of Political Studies at the University of Ottawa.
