This dance/aerial art show sounds great: Tales from the Crips, Reimagined Fairy Tales with a Disabled Lens. Nov 8 + 9, 2024, 8pm EST.
“This show was inspired by “Disfigured” by Amanda Leduc who we’re honored is flying from Toronto to come to this performance and give an opening reading to invite us into reimagining diverse voices within classic fairy tales. We are reimagining Snow White and Endo (disabled comrade), Mulan, Maiden (without hands), Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, and Little Mermaid. We invite the audience to join us with live music, aerial art, and more!”
There’s a livestream, tickets are free/sliding scale (suggested $35), and if you attend in person, masks are mandatory.

Signed up for Fan Club’s Guide to COVID Safe(r) Events, a free Zoom workshop this Thursday. Sounds great:
“This workshop teaches a layered approach to reducing COVID spread at events through a disability justice and harm reductionist lens. We will go over specific tools like masks and air purifiers, as well as some tips on implementation and navigating questions or pushback from venues or attendees.”
