Spring has sprung!


The sun is shining, creative juices are flowing and we are excited to bring more learning your way.


April brings along two more chances to participate in two different workshops.



April 21st - The fine folks at Inside Out Theatre are bringing us their fun spin on acting. We will be at Studio A (within the Fringe Theatre building) with our facilitator being online from Toronto. Workshop time is 3-430pm.


Please register by emailing Rebecca at rebecca@cripsie.com to reserve your spot. Registration is by donation, with a minimum donation of $2.


April 23rd - Jodie Vandekerkhove from the AFA will be online to share wisdom about how the AFA works, as well as provide support and guidance for your application process. Workshop time is 7-8pm.


Please register by emailing Rebecca at rebecca@cripsie.com to reserve your spot. Workshop link will be emailed to all participants the day prior to the workshop. Registration is by donation, with a minimum donation of $2.

Making art is so much fun it's why we all continue to do it. But there's a lot of work that goes on behind the scenes in order to make things happen - and that's what our March workshops are all about! And for bonus points, all of these workshops are available to you in your own home.



March 3rd - Anastasia Maywood, Program Advisor, Arts Development and Investment from the Edmonton Arts Council will present their Equity & Access in the Arts Grant (creating a profile, the intentions, details on each Stream, how to do a budget, supporting materials, etc.) Mireille Rijavec will present the grants that are available to the community at the AFA and CC, as well as get into some detail about grant writing that people find most challenging: writing your own biography, going from your project vision to project description and budgeting.


Please register by emailing Rebecca at rebecca@cripsie.com to reserve your spot. Workshop link will be emailed to all participants the day prior to the workshop. Registration is by donation, with a minimum donation of $2.


March 10th - If you were unable to catch the fantastic production workshops offered by Brooke Leifso in the winter last year, you're in luck because she's back with even more wisdom about producing a show.


Please register by emailing Rebecca at rebecca@cripsie.com to reserve your spot. Workshop link will be emailed to all participants the day prior to the workshop. Registration is by donation, with a minimum donation of $2.



March 17th - Does your art come more in the form of words? Is there a tale to tell somewhere within you? Rebecca Bissonnette will support you in finding that voice to tell the story you want to tell. Have an idea started? Want to start from scratch? Happy to work with any idea in progress.


Please register by emailing Rebecca at rebecca@cripsie.com to reserve your spot. Workshop link will be emailed to all participants the day prior to the workshop. Registration is by donation, with a minimum donation of $2.

We are looking to grow our CRIPSiE crew of producers, designers, stage managers, technicians, and performers, and we were wondering if you could please share our Skilled Creator Call Out link with your friends and community. OR perhaps you are a Skilled Creator that we are looking for!

CRIPSiE (The Collaborative Radically Integrated Performers Society in Edmonton) is an Edmonton-based collective of artists that include people who experience disability and their allies. We challenge dominant stories of disability and other forms of oppression through high-quality crip and mad performance art, video art, as well as public education and outreach programs.
