Crip Times Episode 6: The Jess Watkin Episode

Episode Notes “It was interdependent magic. Like it really felt like magic.” Happy solstice! They’re the four best friends anyone could have. On the last Crip Times episode of 2020, all three hosts (Kayla, Kristina, Yousef) are joined by Jess Watkin, an artist, activist, academic, dramaturg, and most importantly, friend of the pod.  We spend some time laughing about how we all became friends through our various crip encounters, access intimacy, and what Jess’ work as an artist and disability dramaturg actually entails. Jess speaks about her upcoming projects, and the legacies of interdependence that brought her to the place she is today. This episode ends with Jess’ dreams for the future of performance, with suggestions we could all bring into our 2021 plans.  We’ll be back with new episodes of Crip Times on January 11 until then, thank you for allowing us to share these episodes with you, they really feel like magic.  For a full transcript of this episode, as well as helpful links and key quotes, visit the Bodies in Translation Website:  https://bodiesintranslation.ca/crip-times-a-podcast-series/
