We’re excited to welcome Sky Cubacub of Rebirth Garments for a virtual talk! They’ll speak about their manifesto Radical Visibility: a queer and disabled dress reform movement– a project of centering Disabled Queer joy and exploring practices that “nurture a community of people who have often been excluded from mainstream fashion and provide a platform for people to confidently express pride in the intersections of their identities.”
Sky’s talk is a public meeting of a 1-credit think-tank course called “Making Inclusive Theatre: RICHARD III as Disability Art.” This course supports a collaboration between the UIC Disability Cultural Center, the Department of Theatre, Bodies of Work, and Babes with Blades Theatre Company (BWBTC), as BWBTC puts on a production of Shakespeare’s Richard III (scheduled for Fall 2022). Our inquiry is focused around the questions: "What does it mean to do inclusive, disability-culture informed theater? How might a performance speak and even make an argument?" This work is supported by a UIC Creative Activity Award.
