Petra Kuppers: The Crip/Mad Archive Dances

Scholar and artist Petra Kuppers draws on her prolific research integrating performance and disability studies for this lecture that addresses disabled and mad presences as they appear in dance archives. Kuppers discusses her strategies and insights with audience members in a poetic documentary-in-progress presentation. Continuing a close collaboration between EMPAC and the iEAR Presents! series, this event is the first of three Troy events with Kuppers, followed by two participatory workshops on October 12 at Sanctuary for Independent Media. This event is free to attend, all are welcome.
