The artistic practice of chronically ill/disabled people is often linked to objects or practices that enable them to access and participate, alleviate their pain or are related to self-care. These practices are called “crip techniques”. They not only confront the dance canon with new aesthetics, but also reveal insights into those lived realities that are spoken about far from the norm. “Choreographies of Rest” is one such crip technique, in which everything revolves around resting and which questions the intersectional and political dimensions of resting alongside an artist's individual access. What does it mean to rest? What do we rest for and where do we do it?
