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?
The Forum Tanzvermittlung regularly offers experts from the region the opportunity to exchange views on questions in the field of “mediation and participation”. This format is for teachers, educators, artists, teachers, mediators and other interested parties.

Biography
Angela Alves
Angela Alves ist Choreografin, Performerin und Tanzwissenschaftlerin. Ihre künstlerische Praxis ist stark von ihrer Lebensrealität als chronisch kranke Frau geprägt und fokussiert politische Dimensionen des unverfügbaren Körpers. Ihre Arbeiten erforschen Konzepte des Ausruhens, Aufhörens und Vergnügens als Kulturtechnik des Widerstands und hinterfragen Wahrnehmungen von „gesund“ und „krank“. Sie studierte Tanz bei ArtEZ (NL) und Tanzwissenschaft an der Freien Universität Berlin. Seit kurzem arbeitet sie als künstlerische Mitarbeiterin im Projektteam von Claire Cunningham am HZT Berlin.
