Hi all,

I'm a Ph.D. student and teaching fellow at the University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill.

I have been teaching Introduction to Performance Studies and am searching for syllabus ideas, rubrics and performance assignments that are accessible and anti-ableist.

Typically in the course, students have to give 3-5 minute performances about themselves, their community and utopia or politics. The grading rubric we receive when we begin as teaching assistants seems to have a neurotypical, able-bodied student in mind and I'm looking to make the class more accessible.

I would love if people have suggestions, examples or can point me toward resources.

Thanks!
Joey
