Workshop: Creating with Crip Time by resting up collective

7 May 2023 1-2.30pm

Overview

"Crip time is time travel. Disability and illness have the power to extract us from linear, progressive time with its normative life stages and cast us into a wormhole of backward and forward acceleration, jerky stops and starts, tedious intervals and abrupt endings." - Ellen Samuels

Join resting up collective for a creative workshop that focuses on the different ways we perceive time, particularly embodied time, and the ways in which we might have a creative outlet (including rest!) working with, not against, that time.

The workshop will include group discussion, writing and/or drawing, alongside the opportunity to make a loose creative plan creative plans to take away with you to build a longer piece of work.

We will also discuss crip time, how we can rethink the time constraints we live under, and how to carve out space for creative practice in our calendars.

There is no preparation required for this workshop, but participants can Ellen Samuels' essay "Six Ways of Looking at Crip Time" (available on our website) ahead of time if they wish. We recommend bringing a pen and notebook, or any materials you use to write with.
