Concept author and seminar leader: Saša Asentić

The seminar explores how accessibility tools can function as artistic methods, focusing on Saša Asentić’s approach to the so-called aesthetics of accessibility. Participants will engage with his collaborative creative process, which draws on the experiences of people with disabilities and treats accessibility as a fundamental condition shaping the aesthetics of an artwork and forming the very core of artistic creation. This challenges traditional dramaturgical approaches and encourages reflection on practices freed from normative frameworks that often exclude disability from the performing arts.

Asentić will address questions such as: How can visual accessibility simultaneously expand choreographic expression and allow its translation into other media? What dramaturgical effects do speech translation and the concept of crip time have in dance? How are the poetics of sign language and performativity realized in dance? And what impact do captions have on the narrative structure and expressiveness of movement?

Part of the events within the Cripping Performance II conference also include the performances Pas Moi and Dis Lecture on Something Very Special.

In collaboration with Maska Ljubljana.
