Tiresias: Videodance Dir. Petra Kuppers and Sadie Wilcox Poetry: Jim Ferris Choreography: Petra Kuppers Winner of the Pamela K. Walker Award, Superfest 2008 Disability culture videopoem that recasts a Greek myth about bodily change, time and difference. At the center of the work are touch and kinesthesia, and the question many disabled people face in social interaction: “What happened to you?” This videopoem mixes elements of captioning and audio description into its aesthetic vocabulary, to create a piece that can work as an audio experience, a visual experience, or a mix of different sensory inputs.
