And what potential lies in disabled leadership?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n To investigate this, we have invited several international figures from the worlds of dance and theatre: Introducing the topic will be Jo Verrent, director of the disabled-led arts organisation Unlimited (UK), and Eyk Kauly (Germany), actor, performer, Deaf coach and artistic director of the German Deaf Theatre. Afterwards, you can choose between two workshops: either a two-day theatre workshop with Laura Guthrie and Hana Pascal Keegan from the internationally acclaimed disabled-led theatre company GRAEAE (UK) or a two-day dance workshop with disabled dancer, lecturer and researcher Dr. Kate Marsh (UK), who has over 20 years of expertise.<\/p>\n The Academy of Cultural Education in Remscheid<\/a>, located in the middle of nature, has very beautiful, spacious, barrier-free event rooms in which your collective creativity can fully unfold from a wide variety of perspectives in exchange with international speakers and colleagues.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n ACCOMMODATION:\u00a0 <\/p>\n LANGUAGE<\/strong>:\u00a0 [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text disabled_on=”off|off|off” admin_label=”Barrierefreiheit” module_id=”barrierefreiheit” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n All meeting rooms are accessible.\u00a0 <\/p>\n We will provide the following assistance if needed, please be sure to indicate your requirements when registering:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/li>\n <\/p>\n <\/ul>\n <\/li>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/ul>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text disabled_on=”off|off|off” admin_label=”Kosten” module_id=”kosten” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Costs (including all costs: accommodation and full board during the stay)<\/strong>\u00a0 <\/p>\n Category 1: 210 \u20ac + advance booking (e.g., students, freelance artists)\u00a0 <\/p>\n If you participate with your own assistant, their participation is free of charge.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We are happy to issue a certificate of attendance following the Creative Lab.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Due to system specifications, we cannot provide English translations for all fields within the registration form.

What structures enable disabled artists to realise works of varying scales and sizes in terms of space, cast size and ambitions? What can cultural organisations do to ensure that all disabled artists can equally engage, and how can they avoid prioritise some over others? And how can the cultural sector ensure that disabled artists can manage their work consistently, creatively and coherently \u2013 from conception to presentation? What structures does disabled leadership need to function smoothly and regularly?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Beyond inclusion: Deaf perspectives, power dynamics, and theatre practice<\/strong>\u00a0 <\/p>\n In his keynote speech, Eyk Kauly sharpens our understanding of rules, awareness and better exchange between hearing and Deaf cultural professionals<\/p>\n <\/p>\n How do we bring Deaf and hearing colleagues together in institutions and cultural productions and promote both networking and mutual insights into different artistic working methods? Eyk’s expertise as a Deaf coach, actor and performer in independent productions and at various theatres, allows his keynote to particularly focus on collaboration in theatre and on inclusive rehearsal and communication processes in mixed teams.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Eyk draws on his own work experience in production workflowa as well as his extensive artistic and practical experience with aesthetic forms of expression \u2013 including sign language poetry, visual vernacular, visual signing and the use of visual media.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Seminar times: 9:30 am – 12:45 pm \/ 3pm \u2013 6:15 pm<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 9:30 \u2013 10:00 am <\/p>\n 10:00 am \u2013 5:15 pm, including lunch break from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Two parallel workshops by Dr. Kate Marsh and Laura Guthrie and Hana Pascal Keegan, Graeae Theatre Company <\/p>\n Interpreting: <\/p>\n Workshop with GRAEAE: In spoken English. <\/p>\n Being in the messiness \u2013 cultivating space for exploration and playful experimentation <\/p>\n Designed for disabled and non-disabled people in the broad arts sector, these practice-led sessions will use choreographic and creative tasks to delve into our individual artistic inquiry. With a strong emphasis on responding to our own interests and needs we will create space, through practice, to share our ideas and to try out ways of working collaboratively. We will celebrate how being together in all our sameness and differences nurtures an exciting and safe environment to be in our practice away from a pressure to \u2018produce\u2019 or to cement our ideas. Staying with questions and experimentation, we will allow ourselves to try things and to embrace \u2018mess\u2019.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Drawing mainly from improvisation as a way in, we will explore group and individual tasks allowing ourselves to move and be moved by others. Individual access will sit at the heart of these sessions, based on a principle that often our needs are not \u2018fixed\u2019 that they may shift from minute to minute, day to day. We will make space for everyone to access the practice from exactly where they are in each moment of the workshop.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Theatrical exploration of disabled-led work<\/strong> <\/p>\n Underpinned by the Aesthetics of Access we will make theatrical discoveries around how Disabled-led work informs the outcomes of theatre making.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This will be approached through working with existing play text and work developed through the sessions.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The process will include discussion as well as practical exploration, working as an ensemble, in small group and in pairs.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We will be looking at what difference it makes aesthetically and creatively when we place Disabled characters and Disabled creatives at the centre of mainstream work.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In the end there will be a sharing of the discoveries made in our sessions and the opportunity to create a call to action to our audience.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 5:30 pm \u2013 6:15 pm <\/p>\n \u2018I want to be with you. If you can\u2019t go, then I don\u2019t want to go. If we are traveling together, sharing political space together, building political family together, then I want to be with you. I want us to be together.\u2019 <\/em>Mia Mingus 2010<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n This session framed around discussion and inviting questions and provocation from all present is informed by Kate\u2019s long-term exploration of leadership in the dance and disability landscape. Proposing a re-thinking of how leadership is understood. How can we begin to understand that leadership is part of the practices we are already doing rather than something we are constantly reaching for or waiting to arrive at. What if leadership is not a \u2018job\u2019 or a position, but is embedded in our dancing, making, creating and within our communities and how we come together?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Kate will propose that disabled artists do not need to change themselves to lead, that they do not need to \u2018fit into\u2019 a prescribed idea of what a leader in dance is, but that there is a vast and rich knowledge of bodies, choreography and pedagogy that already exists in disabled artists and that this knowledge has the potential to bring about new ways of working and practicing in the arts.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n There will be time given to explore ideas of radical access, \u2018inclusion\u2019 beyond participation and into autonomous artistic practice that is made better when we understand access as a fluid phenomenon, acknowledging \u2018access clashes\u2019 and how we might navigate them so that everybody\/mind is accounted for.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Seminar times: 9:30 am \u2013 12:45 pm \/ 3:00 pm \u2013 6:15 pm<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 9:30 \u2013 10:00 am <\/p>\n 10:00 am \u2013 5:15 pm, including lunch break from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Being in the messiness \u2013 cultivating space for exploration and playful experimentation<\/strong> <\/p>\n Theatrical exploration of disabled-led work <\/p>\n 5:30 pm \u2013 6:15 pm <\/p>\n Do you think your organisation treats Deaf and disabled artists equally? <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Seminar time: 9:30 am \u2013 1:00 pm <\/p>\n Participants of the workshops present their respective work results and main findings in a plenary session.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Question & Answers [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text disabled_on=”on|on|on” admin_label=”Programm-\u00dcbersicht” module_id=”Programm” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” disabled=”on” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Dieses Feld ist auf der Homepage ausgeblendet.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/www.eventbrite.de\/e\/1977721092025?aff=oddtdtcreator” button_text=”Registration” disabled_on=”off|off|off” admin_label=”Button Anmeldung” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/un-label.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/AM-tender-creative-lab-EN-26.pdf” url_new_window=”on” button_text=”Info Brochure in English (PDF)” disabled_on=”off|off|off” admin_label=”Button Brosch\u00fcre” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_text disabled_on=”off|off|off” admin_label=”Referentinnen” module_id=”referent*innen” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n UNLIMITED<\/a> – JO VERRENT (she\/her)<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Unlimited is an arts charity based in the UK that commissions disabled artists – we commission exceptional work\u00a0to challenge and change the world.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n They work through 5 strands of activity: COMMISSION, DEVELOP, SUPPORT, CONNECT and CHANGE.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Unlimited receives funding from Arts Council England (they are in their National Portfolio), Arts Council of Wales, Creative Scotland, British Council, Paul Hamlyn Foundation and others.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Jo Verrent <\/strong>works in arts and culture at strategic levels with national agencies, embedding the belief that diversity adds texture and turning policy into real action.

Hiring \u2018emerging\u2019 disabled artists isn\u2019t radical
<\/strong>Input by Laura Guthrie, GRAEAE<\/p>\n
Do you consider yourself an organisation that treats Deaf, disabled and neurodivergent artists equal to non disabled artists? Are you welcoming and ambitious providing pathways for disabled artists to progress beyond the status of emerging?
Based on the last 6 years of managing Graeae\u2019s Artist Development programme Laura Guthrie will open a discussion on how the UK and German sectors\u2019 outdated structures and traditions make this nearly impossible and what we can do to change this.<\/p>\nSUNDAY

<\/strong>The concluding part of the Creative Lab offers plenty of space for questions from the participants and further joint transfer of the findings to participants’ own work.<\/p>\nEXPERTS<\/h2>\n
