This session of the Dance Center of Columbia College Chicago’s What Is Contemporary? Symposium features Giulia Cristofoli presenting her research on how a mentality of accessibility and creative access opens new doors to think of choreography differently through the concept of “crip time.” As described by scholar Ellen Samuels, crip time “requires us to break in our bodies and minds to new rhythms, new patterns of thinking and feeling and moving through the world” from “Six Ways of Looking at Crip Time,” Disability Studies Quarterly 37, no. 3 (2017).
