SUMMARY:Mad Conductors Participatory Performance & Crip/Mad Archive Dances Screening - Moved to Riverside Arts Center
DESCRIPTION:This event has been moved to Riverside Arts Center and will now occur from 11am-1pm. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis is part of the 2024 Disability Arts & Culture Gathering\, a weekend of disability culture arts-based research and community building centered on twin inquiries of environmental and interspecies gentleness\, mad memory\, and archival intermedial/technological play.  \n\n\n\nFrom the organizer: We are happy to welcome people joining from elsewhere. All Gathering events unspool in crip time\, with rest and relaxation practices built in\, from fireside hang-outs to watercolor/drawing playtime. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT THE DISABILITY ARTS AND CULTURE GATHERING\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFeaturing: \n\n\n\nOpening Poem by Nazifa Islam \n\n\n\nMad Conductors Participatory Performance with Stephanie Heit\, Alexis Riley\, \n\n\n\nVisual Art Slide by Jennifer Lickers  \n\n\n\nCrip/Mad Archive Dances Screening \n\n\n\nwith Petra Kuppers and many more \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMad Conductors Participatory Performance \n\n\n\nwith Stephanie Heit and Alexis Riley \n\n\n\nJoin us for a participatory performance that explores memory\, remembering\, and forgetting. How can we hold memory as a community? How can we hold the gaps? We'll explore improvisational scores that invite us to investigate and play through writing\, movement\, doodling\, sound\, and other mediums we invent. You are welcome to witness and/or to participate to whatever level you wish. We will work together to create a supportive space to tend ourselves and each other while we imagine and experiment with new openings\, pathways\, and futures of care. \n\n\n\nMad Conductors is a collaborative performance project directed by Stephanie Heit and Alexis Riley that arises out of a desire to transmute and transform personal experiences of electroshocks and psychiatric medication brain zaps. It is an exploration of electricity\, shock\, connection\, memory (loss)\, and collective mad ways of being. What happens when energy is transferred? Who or what conducts the ensemble? What resources do mad ancestors and archives offer? \n\n\n\nfollowed by: \n\n\n\nCrip/Mad Archive Dances Screening\n\n\n\nwith Petra Kuppers (and many others) \n\n\n\nA screening of an experimental documentary. 35 mins\, dir. Petra Kuppers\, 2024. How do disabled and mad people survive\, dance\, insert their differences in a world full of stigma? How do we live through bodymindspirit experiences of alienation and pain? This experimental documentary charts disability culture archives and embodied gestures of survival and creative expression. It draws on community with human and non-human others: media clips as performance gifts\, archival footage from dance archives\, environmental embedment and grounding in trees\, water\, desert and lakes. Together\, we dance\, and spring our binds. Please note: This experimental documentary shares instances of medical incarceration including insulin violence. It offers survivor testimonies of artful and agency-full reclamation. The film is fully subtitled in English. A full audio-description track is available on SoundCloud. The documentary uses “crip\,” and “mad” as in-group signifiers\, aware of stigma and histories. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStephanie Heit (she/her)\n\n\n\nStephanie is a queer disabled poet\, dancer\, teacher\, and codirector of Turtle Disco\, a somatic writing space on Anishinaabe territory in Ypsilanti\, Michigan. She is a shock/psych system survivor\, bipolar\, and a member of the Olimpias\, an international disability performance collective. Her award-winning book of hybrid memoir poems\, PSYCH MURDERS (Wayne State University Press\, 2022)\, invites readers inside psychiatric wards and shock treatments toward new futures of care. Website: https://stephanie-heit.com \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAlexis Riley (she/they)\n\n\n\nAlexis is a white disabled psychiatric survivor and interdisciplinary artist-scholar from Shawnee and Osage Land (colonial West Virginia). Grounded in disability culture and rooted in feminist praxis\, their work blends practice as research and applied theatre methods to center mad bodies as sources of pleasure\, connection\, and care. Her current performance series\, The Mad Memory Project\, applies this focus to the archives and spaces of medical incarceration. Recent writing and creative projects have been featured in Theatre Topics (2019)\, QT Voices (2022)\, Liminalities (2024). Alexis is currently a President’s Postdoctoral Fellow/Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPetra Kuppers (she/her)\n\n\n\nPetra is German queer cis disability culture activist and a community performance artist. She grounds herself in disability culture methods\, and uses somatics\, performance\, media work\, and speculative writing to engage audiences toward more socially just and enjoyable futures. Her latest academic study is Eco Soma: Pain and Joy in Speculative Performance Encounters (2022\, open access\, winner of the ATHE 2024 book prize with distinction for Innovative Achievement). She teaches at the University of Michigan\, was a 2022 Dance/USA Fellow\, a 2023 Guggenheim Fellow\, and is a current Just Tech Fellow\, with her Planting Disabled Futures virtual reality project. www.petrakuppers.com

Together\, we’ll explore “The Rorschach Ballet\,” a dance piece created by disabled people held at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital in 1957. After witnessing a video of the dance\, we will then work together to create an improvised performance of our own\, using our bodies and movements to play with projections of shadow and light. We’ll conclude with some time for quiet writing\, doodling\, and shared reflection. This workshop is open to all. No previous experience or skill required. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAlexis Riley (she/they)\n\n\n\nAlexis is a white disabled psychiatric survivor and interdisciplinary artist-scholar from Shawnee and Osage Land (colonial West Virginia).

Alexis is currently a President’s Postdoctoral Fellow/Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan. \n\n\n\nAli Pappa\n\n\n\nAli is an Austin-based musician\, improviser\, and arts administrator. They are a neurodivergent\, disabled\, trans non-binary person of color\, and are naturally drawn to creating and performing works that reflect these lived experiences. These days\, Ali leans into crip-time\, focusing on his health\, healing from burnout\, and taking projects and collaborative experiences at a pace more in line with his values as a disabled anticapitalist. Their collaboration with Alexis Riley received a B. Iden Payne award for the University of Texas at Austin's kin song: ode to disability ancestors\, a virtual performance ritual.
