Disability Arts Week is a celebration of artists with disabilities and their important and unique contributions to the art world. All workshops are specifically designed to be accessible to neurodiverse folks and folks with intellectual disabilities. All are welcomed and encouraged in this space. We welcome folks of all abilities, of all life experiences, literacy levels and verbal as well as non-verbal communicators. If you don't identify as having a disability you are also welcome.
ABOUT KRYSTAL
Krystal has been privileged to collaborate with playwright Judith Thompson for almost a decade of live theatre, including The Grace Project: Sick, Rare (Best of Fringe 2012) and most recently Wildfire (2017). An advocate for both disability and female rights, Krystal has appeared in film and television since her first big break as lead in The Memory Keeper's Daughter (Lifetime, 2008), joining the cast of Between (Netflix, 2018), making a guest appearance in Northern Rescue (Netflix, 2018) and several indie productions such as The Rainbow Kid and Blood Honey. Giving voice and expression to a young woman with a disability has been Krystal's guiding light.
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
We get the awesome opportunity of Krystal sharing a short performance with us, followed by some interactive drama exercises she uses to warm up and her keep her acting skills sharp. Please be advised that Krystal's performance may contain some mature language and subject matter. Viewer discretion is advised.
