Presented in partnership with ReelAbilities Film Festival: New York

As part of this year’s Big Umbrella Festival, Lincoln Center continues its collaboration with the ReelAbilities Film Festival, the largest festival in the world dedicated to showcasing ground-breaking films by and about people with disabilities. The week-long series of events is renowned for its wide-ranging international film selection, riveting conversations, and performances, presented annually across the New York metropolitan area.

Crip Movement Lab—co-created by Disabled dancers Kayla Hamilton and Elisabeth Motley—is a movement workshop for all disabled people and their non-disabled accomplices, including and not limited to those that identify as D/disabled, blind, low vision, sight impaired, neurodivergent, D/deaf, hard of hearing, Sick, chronically ill, crip, or Mad. In this online community dance workshop, we will reach toward the liberatory pathways found in improvisational dance and the crip pride found in processes of creating from disability knowledge. Those with and without movement experience are welcome!

This one-hour virtual event in Zoom webinar format will include ASL interpretation, live audio description, and live captioning. The event is free but registration is required. Please fill out this form or contact [email protected] or 212-875-5375 to register or with any questions about the event.
