Shelter.
Shelter is the tender and intimate portrayal of an intergenerational cycle of care. The piece is centered on the perspective of a disabled child who grows up to become the primary caregiver for her aging mother. This is the first choreography of emerging artist Alison Neuman, and was co-choreographed by Kelsie Acton.
CRIPSiE, The Collaborative Radically Integrated Performers Society in Edmonton, is committed to fostering high quality, creative, anti-oppressive and inclusive art practices and performances. CRIPSiE is run by artists who experience disability or other forms of oppression, and by their artistic and political allies. The group strives for crip and mad aesthetics in their work. Crip and mad aesthetics involve celebrating and exploring the generative possibilities of 'disability' and 'mental illness,' in terms of how these experiences can offer important alternative perspectives on art processes, form, and content. http://www.cripsie.ca
