In this presentation, we will share Olimpias disability culture work, woven around poetry and dance. The Olimpias is an international project-based artist collective led by Petra Kuppers, and focused on disability culture work, community arts and performance research (www.olimpias.org).The book Cripple Poetics: A Love Story (2008, Homofactus Press) is a collaboration between performance artists Neil Marcus and Petra Kuppers and photographer Lisa Steichmann. In 2008/9, Petra and Neil went on long tours in Australia and Europe, engaging disability artists, and discussing (and shaping) the contemporary shapes of international disability culture(s). In this performance, they will share some of Cripple Poetics together with award-winning Olimpias videos, including the Butoh piece 'water burns sun' and the dancepoetryvideo Tiresias.
