PROJECTS
A conversation with Toni Krizter, a fellow Disabled artist, birthed the term ‘Chronic Projects.’ GTM’s relationship to projects may change, but they stay with us, reoccur, shape shift, and overlap just like the history of pain and illnesses in our Disabled bodies and minds.
From dance to writing, festivals to community space building, healing arts projects and more than human kin relational research, GTM’s projects have taken different shapes across a vast spectrum — all informed by years of embodied research and many collaborators.
Each project inhabits several categories, united under GTM’s values: use the tags below to navigate by category, and please note that all projects hold multiple tags.
The Shed
A virtual playground inspired by snakes and creatures who shed their skin! Participants were invited to choose their own adventure through a beautiful virtual world created by our friends at Garden. There, they could slow dance with snakes, play with reptile time, read, watch, and/or listen to a collection of experiences created by Kai Hazelwood over the last two years as a part of The 5th Group of Companions of THIRD at DAS Graduate School.
Color Outside the Lines
Welcome to Color Outside The Lines, the game show meets dance theater project about all things racial. Join a team and get ready to play the ‘Ignant Spelling Bee’ and many more games as part of our live studio audience! Come discover for yourself that race is more important, much more complicated, and infinitely more ridiculous than you ever imagined.
Unicorn pARTy
Unicorn pARTy is a celebration featuring performances, art, and revelry centering Bi+ artists and celebrating love for more than one gender.
Touch | Screen
One part brunch party and one part interactive performance, Touch | Screen brings warmth and intimacy to the digital space for a 21st century pandemic Valentine’s date (no date required)!
Dear Mom
Dear Mom is a visceral and touching movement film inspired by the sometimes painful love of a parent not understanding their queer child. The film begins with the themes of misunderstanding and subjugation, moves to rebellion and conflict, and ends with healing and understanding.
Reptile Time: An Embodied Play Date
Guided by the wisdom of creatures who shed their skin, who live perpetually in massive transformation, we will play with how to cultivate a deep slowing down to reach Reptile Time. Through easeful movement, breath, sensation tracking, journaling and resting.
