A gathering as part of Claire Cunningham’s Einstein Strategic Professorship at HZT Berlin
10.–12.10.2025 / HAU2

Intended as an alternative format to traditional symposia, this three-day event is part of the “Crip | Choreo | Care” team’s ongoing research at Hochschulübergreifendes Zentrum Tanz Berlin
(HZT).

Via a series of artistic provocations and interventions, invited disabled artists, allies and researchers explore aesthetic, political and philosophical potentialities of crip techniques, knowledge and expertise. Together they focus on their contribution in choreography and dance towards accessible, anti-ableist, crip positive futures – arising from their differing lived experiences, practices and the phenomenology of disability.

The gathering is made up of 6 core artistic offers, along with dedicated sessions for reflection and processing, conversation and exchange. As part of the program Claire Cunningham will be presenting her performance-lecture “4 Legs Good-re/imagined” on Saturday. 

“On Crip Technique, Knowledge and Expertise. Bodies of Knowledge: Choreographies of Care – a Gathering” is realized within the framework of Claire Cunningham’s Einstein Strategy Professorship in “Choreography, Care and Disability Arts” at HZT Berlin, in cooperation with HAU Hebbel am Ufer.
