”Performing Chronic Conditions...” by Hendrik Quast

Comic performative practices of and by chronically ill and dis/abled bodies have for the most part been excluded from the history of the performing arts. However, my research project investigates performative practices that conceive of the chronically ill body as a comic body. With that premise in mind, I investigate crip comedy on, with and through the chronically ill and dis/abled body in contexts such as Live Art and Devised Theatre.
