The 2016 SINS INVALID performance Birthing, Dying, Becoming Crip Wisdom brought thirteen artists together to make evocative explorations of creation, aging, and mortality. It was and remains a journey through genesis, transformative power and earth. It prompted by a year-long dialogue, defining questions such as: What were your first understandings that your body was disabled? How did your emerging understanding of yourself affect your gender identity? How does disabled embodiment open us to the possibility of a deeper engagement with the universal phenomena of transitions in embodiment?  

The resulting work plunges us into visions of life and death, the disabled body/mind and liberation.

Birthing, Dying, Becoming Crip Wisdom reflects the belief that life and its transmogrification into itself is a continuous process, that we are ultimately always becoming as we live, die, and live anew. We offer an evening of dreamspace, looking at our corporeal bodymind and the planetary fluid bodyearth in the context of the universal energetic ebb and flow. From within this dream, we see the truth that human linear time does not exist in the universe, that everything happens simultaneously, we are simultaneously being born and dying, loving.

Join us once again as we swim through the open waters of the crip spirit November 18th-20th, 2022! Get your tickets at this link!
