Dear colleagues, comrades, and friends, Some of you on this list-serv contacted me for more information after my announcement of the Crip/Mad Archive Dances at the Lincoln Center last year. The main essay about the project has now appeared in a beautiful Disability Dramaturgies special issue of *Theater*, edited by Madeline Charne and Tom Sellar. You can download the Crip/Mad Dramaturgies essay as well as the other amazing issue contributions for free (for the next months) here: https://read.dukeupress.edu/theater/article/52/2/67/313590/Crip-Mad-Archive-DancesArts-Based-Methods-in-and The Crip/Mad Archive Dances team also created a 4-minute excerpt from two performances of the show, show-casing the “touching-across-time” method of crip/mad historical investigation we are employing. You can find the video here: Crip/Mad Archive Dances: https://vimeo.com/712118741 *Audio Description of this clip*: https://soundcloud.com/petra-kuppers/audio-description-cripmad-archive-dances *Video Description*: This 4-minute video excerpt from the hour-long Crip/Mad Archive Dances score shows first a grey box dance space, then a black box dance space, with two groups of people moving in front of a large-scale projection. The projection shows a 1978 video clip of a dance session at the Bronx Psychiatric Center, with different people moving in a circle dance – a clip found in the New York Public Library. The community dancers in front of the projection, some of whom have psychiatric experiences themselves, are tuning with the video, and with the score (which is supported through narration): they assemble into a circle, weave in figure-eights through the space, all in relation to the projected video image of dancers in a psychiatric ward.
