The collective volume seeks to respond to these questions by
exploring crip time in disability performance as both a concept and
a phenomenon. Out of time has many different meanings, amongst them
outmoded, out of step, under time pressure, no time left, or simply
delayed. In the disability context it may also refer to resistant
attitudes of living in "crip time" that contradict time as a linear
process with a more or less predictable future. According to Alison
Kafer, "crip time bends the clock to meet disabled bodies and
minds." What does this mean in the disability arts? What new
concepts of accessibility, crip futures, and crip resistance can be
staged or created by disability performance? And how does the
notion of "out of time" connect crip time with pandemic time in
disability performance? The book tackles the topic from two angles:
on the one hand from a theoretical point of view that connects
performance analysis with crip and performance theory, on the other
hand from a practice-based perspective of disability artists who
develop new concepts and dramaturgies of crip time based on their
own lived experiences and observations in the field of the
performing and disability arts. The book gathers different types of
text genres, forms and styles that mirror the diversity of their
authors. Besides theoretical and academic chapters on disability
performance the book also includes essays, poems, dramatic texts,
and choreographic concepts that reflect upon the alternative
knowledge in the disability arts.
