Workshops
Cripability is an evolving artistic research practice by dance artists Rosch and Lou, exploring how chronic illness shapes our lives, bodies, and creative processes. As part of Perspektiven, they share insights into their work through two workshops and an Open Studio session.
Workshop 1 – “Structures of Support”
slow movement practice that explores how we can be in our bodies and move together, attending to our own needs while offering support to others.
Workshop 2 – “Crip Library Remains”
A playful writing, voicing, and movement practice, using the work of Crip authors, artists, and activists as a starting point for creative exploration.
Open Studio
An informal evening where Rosch and Lou continue sharing their practice. Workshop participants are invited to take part, while visitors are welcome to drop in, and witness the process as it unfolds.
The workshops are designed by and aim to be accessible to individuals living with chronic pain and energy limiting conditions. However, the workshops are open to all curious about moving gently and the interplay of text and movement. No previous dance experience is required.
