Border Score | Choreographies of Crip and Mad Travel

Publication: Canadian Theatre Review
Volume 176

Abstract

This choreographic script explores the movement possibilities and imperatives that come of travelling by air across the Canada–US border. In particular, it demonstrates the differential scores navigated by normates (those for whom airline travel is primarily designed) and by the specific Crip-Mad duet embodied by the authors. The script draws from Crip and Mad theory, disability studies, and duo-ethnographic methods to explore the complexities and ingenuities of mobilizing through and within the spaces and procedures of airline travel while crip and/or Mad.
