what do we do?
Quiplash is here to take space for queer crips (quips), further queer crip performance, queer accessibility, and f*ck sh!t up.
This means:
Playing with perceived norms within LGBTQ+ spaces and disability lead spaces in order to create change.
Pushing the boundaries of performance in more radical and inclusive ways.
Training, consulting and creating inclusive access for organisations, artists, spaces and performance
Creating and promoting community based models of access for the queer community.
Basically, we:
consult,
run engaging workshops,
run fun training,
support LGBTQ+ and disabled artists; and
make really cool performances.
our work
“Quiplash were so informative, patient and understanding. We don't what we would have done without their great guidance, helping us on our journey to being as camp and accessible as possible”
– Lolo O’Neill, LADs
Quiplash provided creative access, focusing on creative audio description for the Travelling Queer People’s History Show by the always fabulous Bird La Bird and Michael Achtman.
”The best thing about working with Bird la Bird is that she had a million ideas, and all I had to say was ‘THIS SOUNDS GREAT’ and help her work out how to make them in to a reality. She’s the epitome of best practice.”
– Amelia, co founder of Quiplash
“Amelia Cavallo was an inspiration to work with on our project.
[Their] honest, incisive and forthright observations challenged and helped us to realise our aspirations to make our work more accessible to blind and visually impaired audiences in new creative ways. We are incredibly grateful for [their] help and look forward to working with [them] again the future.”
– Kate Lawrence of Vertical Dance after working with our co-founder Amelia Cavallo
